I don't know how to love a heart that's cold
especially, a heart that's unlike my own
but in forty days, He will come to separate
the one that's near from the one that's far away
there is a difference between
the heart of stone and heart of clay
a difference unseen to all, except from the One who made
so, I don't know how I thought that I could run
from his hand, that sent me here to tell you now
so, listen please...and turn your eyes toward the Son
He rescued me, He rescues all His chosen ones
there is a difference between
the heart of stone and heart of clay
a difference unseen to all, except from the One who made
He knows the difference
I was like you and I always held on to the difference
nothing is new, and He always chooses the righteous
turn from your ways and surrender your days to the difference
open your heart and submit your will to the difference
He knows the difference
