Lord, give me a heart?

i just watched the show
Seven Pounds..

i have never seen a show like this before..
it is really really moving..

i encourage all to watch it..
eventho im spoiling it for u now..

here is the plot..

Two years ago Tim Thomas was in a car crash, which was caused by him using his mobile phone; seven people died: six strangers and his fiancée, Sarah Jenson.

A year after the crash, and having quit his job as an aeronautical engineer, Tim donates a lung lobe to his brother, Ben , an IRS employee. Six months later he donates part of his liver to a child services worker named Holly. After that he begins searching for more candidates to receive donations. He finds George , a junior hockey coach, and donates a kidney to him, and then donates bone marrow to a young boy named Nicholas.

Two weeks before he dies he contacts Holly and asks if she knows anyone who deserves help. She suggests Connie Tepos, who lives with an abusive boyfriend. Tim moves out of his house and into a local motel taking with him his pet box jellyfish. One night, after being beaten, Connie contacts Tim and he gives her the keys and deed to his beach house. She takes her two children and moves in to their new home.

Having stolen his brother's credentials, and making himself known by his brother's name Ben, he checks out candidates for his two final donations. The first is Ezra Turner, a blind meat salesman who plays the piano. Tim calls Ezra Turner and harasses him at work to check if he is quick to anger. Ezra remains calm and Tim decides he is worthy.

He then contacts Emily Posa, a self-employed greeting card printer who has a heart condition and a rare blood type. He spends time with her, weeding her garden and fixing her rare Heidelberg press. He begins to fall in love with her and decides that as her condition has worsened he needs to make his donation.

His brother tracks him down to Emily's house. Ben then demands that Tim return his IRS ID to him. Tim leaves and returns to the motel. He fills the bathtub with ice water to preserve his vital organs, climbs in, and then commits suicide by pulling his box jellyfish into the water with him. His friend Dan acts as executor to ensure that his organs are donated to Emily and Ezra. Ezra Turner receives his corneas and Emily receives his heart. Afterwards, Emily meets Ezra at a concert and they begin to talk.

i m actually feeling emo again..
it is really really really
i dun knw..

it reminds me of the sacrifice Christ made..

staring at the mirror,
i acknowledge dat i cant give much..

i dun have the hunky figure,
i prob have a heart surrounded by fat..
bad lungs,
prob contaminated liver..

but,
i have decided..

when i die,
i wanna give my cornea and my eardrums
to some one less fortunate..
what i have,
i will give..

i want a heart Lord,
gimme a heart to feel for others..

to feel their pain,
to feel their sorrow..

i need a new heart to replace this perverted, lustful, sinful heart of mine..
a heart of charity
a heart of mercy..

give me a heart Lord..

signing off,
