Lyrics
Almighty God
To You all hearts are open
Search and know
Our thoughts and anxious fears
Wash us in the fountain
Of Your mercy
Come with Your light
We cannot hide from You
Almighty God
To You all hearts are open
With gratitude
We raise our song to You
Come and fill
The praises of Your people
In grace and truth
You make us new again
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Almighty God
To You all hearts are open
We long for more
Than what this world provides
No shallow spring
Will ever satisfy us
But Your river deep
Floods over everything
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Almighty God
To You all hearts are open
You take away
Our sickness and our sin
Oh Lamb of God
We gather at Your table
In bread and wine
You have supplied our needs
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
[x2]
Almighty God
To You all hearts are open
[x3]

Meaning & Inspiration
“Almighty God” is a prayer of openness before the God who knows every thought and fear. Each verse develops that posture through confession, gratitude, longing, healing, and communion. The opening request for cleansing and light acknowledges that nothing can be hidden from God. Later lines contrast the limited satisfaction offered by the world with the overflowing life found in God, while the repeated “Hallelujah” turns these petitions into praise.
The song’s language draws naturally from several biblical themes. Hearts laid open before God recall the searching vision of Psalm 139 and the complete exposure described in Hebrews 4. The fountain of mercy and the plea to be made new suggest spiritual cleansing, while the deep river evokes the living water Christ offers. Its final verse identifies Jesus as the Lamb of God and gathers worshipers around bread and wine, pointing clearly toward the Lord’s Supper. Together, these images present worship as honest self-disclosure, grateful praise, dependence on grace, and fellowship at Christ’s table.
