A clean heart, a heart of Gold

Although I no longer consider my self to be a Christian in today's understandings, I have my understanding of its various elements in my life. Today I was thinking about a heart of gold , I use to pray so much to have a heart of gold,a pure heart , a loving heart...a heart after Gods heart....and today I find myself repeating that same prayer. Two songs came to me ...refiners fire and create in me a clean heart.

Purify my heart Purify my heart dear God 
Let me be as gold and precious silver Let me be as Gold and precious silver, let me be as Erzulie 
Purify my heart Purify my heart oh my dear Loas 
Let me be as gold, pure gold Let my heart be purely you 
Refiner's fire Oh my dear Ogou! 
My heart's one desire The only desire of my heart
Is to be holy Is to be whole ....is to be whole 
Set apart for You, Lord....Set apart for you my Loas...not corrupted 
I choose to be holy....I strive to be whole 
Set apart for You, my Master....set apart for you my master ...my masters
Ready to do Your will....I am ready to do your will 
Purify my heart....I cry purify my heart! 
Cleanse me from within.....wash me cleanse me, do what ever it takes! 
And make me holy......and make me whole!
Purify my heart....purify my heart 
Cleanse me from my sin...cleanse me from everything within me that keeps me from being all that I should be! 
Deep within....go as deep as it takes!

Create in me a clean heart, oh God oh my Loas create in me a clean heart oh my Loas
And renew a right spirit within me Renew your Spirit within me 
Create in me a clean heart, oh God Create in me a clean heart oh my Loas 
And renew a right spirit within me Renew oh God, oh my Loas , renew your spirit within me 

Cast me not away from Thy presence, oh Lord Though I am ashamed , though I have shamed you, do not hide your presence from me 
Take not Thy holy spirit from me Do not take your loving spirit from me 
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation Restore back to me the joy of the spirit that saves me from me weakness...you deliver me from my shame 
And renew a right spirit within me...And renew your Spirit within me! ....Ayibobo!
