What joy fills my heart, fills my heart, fills my heart,
What joy fills my heart!
God takes my stone heart, one of flesh imparts;
His Spirit renewing gives life to each part.
What joy fills my heart, fills my heart, fills my heart.
What joy fills my heart!
God takes my stone heart, one of flesh imparts;
His Spirit renewing gives life to each part.
What joy fills my heart, fills my heart, fills my heart.

Oh, His Spirit fills, fills me now, fills me now!
Oh, His Spirit fills!
He drives out my sin, weakness, death, within,
To bear fruits of righteousness, holy to Him.
Oh, His Spirit fills, fills me now, fills me now!
Oh, His Spirit fills!
He drives out my sin, weakness, death, within,
To bear fruits of righteousness, holy to Him.
Oh, His Spirit fills, fills me now, fills me now!

Turning to God
But God in His salvation promises to give us a new heart. Ezekiel 36:26 says, “I will also give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. ” The new heart in this verse does not refer to another heart; it refers to a renewed heart. The first characteristic of this renewed heart is that it turns to God. The turning of our heart to God is a very healthy sign that He has renewed it. A corrupt heart is always away from God. If our heart is away from Him, that is an indication that our heart is still corrupt. Some may ask how they can know if their heart has been renewed. The sign of a renewed heart is that it turns toward God. The sign of a corrupt heart is that it turns away from Him. Therefore, we can know if our heart has been renewed by whether it is turned to God or away from Him.
In God’s salvation the renewing of the heart is once for all. However, in our experience our heart is renewed continually because it is changeable. Perhaps when you were saved, your heart turned to God in a very strong way. But after a period of time, your heart may turn away from Him somewhat. To a certain extent at least, your heart may turn away. Then by God’s mercy your heart may turn fully to Him once again. Through fellowship with a saint, through coming to the meetings, or by some other gracious means, your heart may turn to the Lord once again. When your heart was turned away from Him, it became somewhat corrupt. But when your heart came back to the Lord, it was renewed. We need to say, “Lord, I thank You that in Your mercy You have visited my heart and turned it back to You. ” This turning to the Lord is the first characteristic of a renewed heart.
