Lyrics
Verse
You broke the barriers between us
Where hope was lost You open doors
You tore the veil for us to enter
Into Your presence now and forevermore
Into Your presence now and forevermore
Chorus
I will come running running straight to Your heart
You always welcome me with open arms
You make it so easy to be where You are
I'll never stop running, running straight to Your heart
I'll never stop running, running straight to Your heart
Verse
You Gave your blood to give us access
Paved a highway to Your love
An honored guest here at Your table
You long to be with us
You long to be with us
Chorus
I will come running running straight to Your heart
You always welcome me with open arms
You make it so easy to be where You are
I'll never stop running, running straight to Your heart
I'll never stop running, running straight to Your heart

Meaning & Inspiration
“Straight to Your Heart” portrays worship as a confident approach to God made possible through Christ. The opening lines move from separation to access: barriers fall, the veil is torn, and the way into God’s presence stands open. The chorus answers that welcome with eager devotion, repeatedly describing a run toward the One whose arms remain open.\n\nThe second verse strengthens that theme with images of blood, a prepared way, and a place at God’s table. Those images closely parallel the New Testament teaching that believers may draw near through the sacrifice of Jesus and receive access to the Father. The bridge’s repeated desire for nothing more keeps the focus on communion with God rather than on a requested gift. Across the song, divine welcome comes first, and the worshiper’s response is nearness, trust, and sustained desire for God’s presence.
