Lyrics
Verse 1
Holy, no measure knows Your worth
Face down where mercy finds me first
Whoa
If you sought perfection
I’d die trying to reach it
Whoa
But this broken heart is all You want
Singing holy, heart like heaven
Singing holy, God almighty own this
Heart broke sound
Singing holy is Your Name
Singing holy is Your Name
Own the sound forever
Heart and heaven together
Singing “Holy is Your Name”
And if it lifts You higher
Burn in me Your desire
A passion worthy of Your Name
Own the sound forever
Heart and heaven together
Singing “Holy is Your Name”
And if it lifts You higher
Burn in me Your desire
A passion worthy of Your Name
For You are worthy Jesus, Saviour
You are worthy, King forever
Hear my soul cry out
Singing holy is Your name

Meaning & Inspiration
Heart Like Heaven centers worship on the holiness and worth of God rather than on human perfection. The opening places the singer face down before mercy, admitting that any attempt to earn acceptance through flawless effort would fail. A broken heart is therefore offered not as an achievement but as an honest response to grace. The repeated confession that God is holy gives the song a simple focal point: worship belongs to the One whose worth cannot be measured.
The later lines join inner devotion with outward praise. Heart and heaven are pictured together as the soul asks for a desire that honors the name of Jesus. This language closely echoes Psalm 51:17, which describes a broken and contrite heart as a sacrifice God does not despise. The repeated declaration of holiness also recalls Revelation 4:8, where worship before God continues with the words holy, holy, holy. By naming Jesus as Savior and eternal King, the closing section gathers mercy, surrender, and adoration into one sustained cry of praise.
