Lifebreakthrough - Open Up My Heart Lyrics
Lyrics
Let these walls come down
As we welcome you
In this place
Lord prepare me now
As your love embraces me
And I will draw closer to you over again
I draw closer to you
I will open up my heart
And let my spirit sing
And let my spirit break free in you
And I will open up my arms and let your fire consume me Holy spirit burn
Lord let heaven come down
As we hunger for your embrace
Jesus we can't get enough
Let your glory surround us now
Let us be a generation that shapes
A generation that shakes the world
In your name
Let this be a revolution that seeks your face
Oh Jesus , oh Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
Lifebreakthrough’s "Open Up My Heart" stands as a poignant invitation to deeper spiritual intimacy, a resonant anthem from an artist renowned for crafting uplifting Christian music. While the specific release date for this particular track isn't widely publicized, it embodies the timeless themes of surrender and revival that characterize much of Lifebreakthrough's catalog, encouraging a profound encounter with the divine.
The narrative woven through "Open Up My Heart" begins with a foundational plea for vulnerability and openness. The initial lines, urging "Let these walls come down" and welcoming God's presence, articulate a universal human desire to dismantle the barriers of pride, fear, or self-sufficiency that often hinder a genuine connection with the Creator. This sets the stage for a personal transformation, where the individual asks God to prepare them, acknowledging the embrace of divine love. It's a recognition that true communion begins with an unguarded heart, much like the psalmist's prayer in Psalm 51:10, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." This openness is not a one-time event but a continuous journey, reflected in the commitment to "draw closer to you over again," echoing James 4:8 where we are encouraged to "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."
The song then moves to its powerful core declaration: "I will open up my heart and let my spirit sing and let my spirit break free in you." This is an unreserved act of worship, a declaration of liberation found solely in Christ. It speaks to the freedom in expressiveness that characterizes a Spirit-filled life, aligning with 2 Corinthians 3:17, which declares, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." The subsequent invocation, "And I will open up my arms and let your fire consume me Holy spirit burn," signifies a profound longing for sanctification and empowerment. This imagery of fire evokes both the purifying work of God, as seen in Malachi 3:2, "For he is like a refiner's fire," and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, reminiscent of the tongues of fire at Pentecost described in Acts 2:3-4, equipping believers for divine purpose. It’s a prayer for inner renewal and for divine energy to permeate every part of one's being.
As the song progresses, it broadens its scope from individual devotion to a collective yearning for revival. The cry, "Lord let heaven come down as we hunger for your embrace, Jesus we can't get enough," reflects a deep spiritual thirst common among believers, a craving for God's manifest presence that is beautifully captured in Psalm 42:1-2, "As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God." This transitions into a bold, missional prayer for a transformative impact on the world. "Let us be a generation that shapes, a generation that shakes the world in your name," is a powerful call to action, recognizing that true change comes not from human might but through the authority and power of Christ. This vision aligns with the biblical mandate for believers to be light and salt, influencing their communities and beyond, as Christ instructed in Matthew 5:14-16. The aspiration for "a revolution that seeks your face" ultimately underscores that any meaningful societal shift must originate from a humble, corporate turning to God, reflecting the promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." "Open Up My Heart" is therefore more than just a song; it is a profound spiritual journey, moving from personal surrender to a passionate prayer for global impact, all rooted in an unwavering pursuit of God's presence and power.
