Lyrics
From stone to flesh You changed me
My heart shaped by Your hand
From death to life You raised me
Forgiven now I stand
Your scars are my reminder
Your cross, the great exchange
In You, I live forever
Now free from sin and shame
You have my heart and I have Yours
I once was lost but now restored, whoa
You are the Lord of all things new
Heart open wide, we worship You, whoa
From stone to flesh You changed me
My heart shaped by Your hand
From death to life You raised me
Forgiven now I stand
You have my heart and I have Yours
I once was lost but now restored, whoa
You are the Lord of all things new
Heart open wide, we worship You, whoa
Hallelujah
My chains undone
Heaven's won
Hallelujah
We raise You up
Christ our hope
Hallelujah
My chains undone
Heaven's won
Hallelujah
We raise You up
Christ our hope
Hallelujah
My chains undone
Heaven's won
Hallelujah
We raise You up
Christ our hope
You have my heart and I have Yours
I once was lost but now restored, whoa
You are the Lord of all things new
Heart open wide, we worship You, whoa
You have my heart and I have Yours
I once was lost but now restored, whoa
You are the Lord of all things new
Heart open wide, we worship You, whoa
Hallelujah
My chains undone
Heaven's won
Hallelujah
We raise You up
Christ our hope
Hallelujah
My chains undone
Heaven's won
Hallelujah
We raise You up
Christ our hope

Meaning & Inspiration
Heart Open Wide centers on spiritual renewal through Christ, moving from a heart of stone to living faith, forgiveness, and freedom from shame. Its images of death giving way to life and chains being undone present salvation as an act of divine grace rather than personal achievement. The cross is described as “the great exchange,” while Christ becomes the singer’s lasting hope and the source of restoration.
The repeated declaration of an open heart gives the song a clear posture of worship and surrender. Ezekiel’s promise that God replaces a heart of stone with a heart of flesh closely matches the opening lines. The language of being raised from death to life also reflects Paul’s account of believers made alive with Christ. As the chorus returns, personal renewal broadens into shared praise, joining gratitude for redemption with confidence that the Lord makes all things new.
