Hillsong Worship - Heart Like Heaven - SINGING HOLY Lyrics
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

Heart Like Heaven - Hillsong Worship
Meaning & Inspiration
Hillsong Worship’s "Heart Like Heaven," released on April 27, 2016, is a powerful declaration of surrendered worship, painted with broad strokes of divine ambition for the believer's inner life. The song beckons listeners into a posture of radical obedience and unwavering faith, envisioning a spiritual reality where the desires of God are deeply ingrained in the human heart, mirroring the very essence of heavenly existence. Its core message is a yearning for transformation, a desire for one’s affections and will to align so completely with God’s that the “kingdom comes” not just in the future, but in the present experience of the worshipper. This resonates deeply with the prayer Jesus taught, asking that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10), a petition that extends beyond mere observance to a complete inhabitation of divine purpose. The song’s invitation to possess a “heart like heaven” speaks to a profound longing to embrace God's perspective, to see the world through His eyes, and to love as He loves, extending grace and truth without reservation. Such a heart reflects the selfless love described in 1 Corinthians 13, where love is patient, kind, and rejoices in truth, mirroring the perfect love that flows from God Himself. Furthermore, the aspiration for a "heart like heaven" is a testament to the promise of new life found in Christ, where believers are transformed by the renewing of their minds (Romans 12:2), enabling them to understand and carry out God's will. The song beautifully articulates the desire for this inward metamorphosis, for the earthly to be so infused with the divine that our very beings become conduits of God’s love and reign. It is an anthem for those who seek not just to know God, but to *be* with Him, their hearts beating in rhythm with His eternal purpose, echoing the Psalmist’s cry, "As the deer pants for the water, so my soul pants for you, my God" (Psalm 42:1). Ultimately, "Heart Like Heaven" is a spiritual aspiration, a prayer set to music that seeks the profound reality of living a life so fully surrendered to God that it becomes a reflection of His own perfect, heavenly heart.
