A Pure Heart

A Pure Heart

The coconut palm towers high in the sky
Its trunk long and stately looks down from there
Its fruit has water to quench our thirst
Its meat sweet and crunchy, so good that we eat!

Its life flows in its center the place of its heart
Different from other trees whose life, their outer part
Its image is found on God’s temple’s walls
Carved in its gold plates with angles all around

Now God’s children have their life deep within
The Spirit of God gives new life to them
The worldly man’s life like the other trees
Flows on the outside and lived for his flesh

Now the coconut palm carved into the walls
Speaks of the new creature through the work of God’s Lamb
For only true believers can freely enter in
To the place of God’s dwelling, the Holiest of All

Our life like the palm tree, God’s Spirit within
For the old man is ruled by His lustful desires
The soul of the believer in union with his Lord
For the veil rent in the temple, the obstacles destroyed

Our soul as His bride in union with Him
Our heavenly bridegroom in our bosom does rest
He ever looked for this place since creating man
And now through His own Son finds the true heart!
