How did it get so scarred?
It wasn’t like this at the start.
I know the flames of sin have charred
My wayward heart.
How did it get so marred?
For it was sinless from the start,
Yet bore God’s wrath in Zion’s yard:
My Savior’s heart.
How long with grace I sparred;
Till his wounds gave me a new start.
And now I ask you, Lord, please guard
My softened heart.

Was Jesus’ heart sinless from the start, surely not ours? Or do you mean once we were saved?
Blessings on your day, Linda

The first verse describes my heart- soft from the start, yet inclined toward sin, and hardened and scarred over time.
The second verse describe Jesus’ heart- sinless, but pierced through because of my sin.
The third verse refers back to my heart, softened from “stone” to “flesh” at conversion.
