Lyrics

Verse 1
You split the sky, to meet me here
And breathe into, the atmosphere
You tear the veil, to make a way
In holiness, I'm face to face


Pre-Chorus
Here and now have my attention
You've won me
Here and now have my affection
You've got me


Chorus
Oh, You never stop seeking
You never stop reaching out
You never stop seeking, after my heart
You're after my heart


Verse 2
So have Your way, and speak again
Remind me of, Your promises
Of who You are, and all You've done
How all of me, is all You want

Here and now have my attention
You've won me
Here and now have my affection
You've got me

Meaning & Inspiration

After My Heart portrays God as the one who draws near, opens the way into His presence, and continues to seek the human heart. Images of a split sky, a torn veil, and face-to-face holiness give the first verse a strong sense of access to God. The response is surrender: attention and affection are given to the One whose promises and past deeds have won the singer completely.

The torn veil imagery closely recalls the New Testament description of confident access to God through Jesus. The request to hear the promises again also fits the biblical assurance that God’s promises find their fulfillment in Christ. Although the chorus uses the language of being sought and reached, it does so as worship rather than as a detailed doctrinal explanation. Repeated lines in the bridge emphasize complete devotion and willing submission. The song therefore holds divine pursuit and human response together, presenting worship as attention, affection, remembrance, and surrender in God’s presence.

Related Scripture

  • Hebrews 10:19-22 The passage connects the opened curtain with confident access to God’s presence through Jesus.
  • 2 Corinthians 1:20 Paul teaches that God’s promises find their Yes in Christ, matching the lyric’s appeal to those promises.
