Rotten Core...

There's this song by Jars Of Clay called "The Eleventh Hour". It's first line reads:

"Trace the shape of my heart, till it becomes more familiar to Your eyes"

Reading on the rest of the song, it is apparent that this song is a sorrowful cry to God, to bring the author back to Him. When I first listened to the song, I misheard the lyrics. However, if I change the first line a little bit, it will encompass all that I am feeling at this very moment.

Change the shape of my heart
Till I become more familiar to Your eyes
I've been lost without You, cold without Your love
It's taken days and nights for me to realise...

Rescue me from waiting on this line
I won't give up on giving You a chance to blow my mind
Let the eleventh hour quickly pass me by
I'll find You when I think Im out of time...

Take the place of my heart
Till I become, a stranger to my life
I've been down without You, wrong without Your love
In time will I be what You're thinking of?
