Turn To Stone – 1 Kings 21:4 We want for so much Desire a burning flame And when it’s extinguished We turn to stone That sickness within Shut everyone out Regret it’s own prison We find ourselves in Is this prison Which we make for ourselves A failure to take All that we want Or maybe think we want It leads to so much sorrow We turn to stone Just cold to those around Why do we put our hopes On all theses lost desires Instead of holding to our faith
