A New Heart, O God
$0.00 – $5.00
This song was written to accompany a sermon on the Ten Commandments—not a passage that inspires a lot of songs! But as I researched the service, I kept thinking about the times that God promised to write the law on our hearts. Soon I was at the piano writing this little bonbon of a Gospel chorus, “A New Heart, O God.” It comes in both a “spicy” version full of jazz/gospel harmonies and a “mild” version for churches who aren’t ready for the heat.
PowerPoint slides for congregational singing are available from Digital Songs & Hymns.

A new heart, O God,
for this heart of stone,
and a spirit you’ve renewed.
Write your law, O God,
in my flesh and bones.
Give me a new heart,
give me a new heart,
a new heart for you.
