Lyrics
My heart before You
I know You see me as I am
I'm met with kindness
That knows no end
You pull me closer
Oh, there is freedom all around
Here in Your presence
My walls come down
My walls come down
So I'm gonna worship
With my heart wide open
I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause You take what was broken
And make it new
I'm gonna trust You
With my heart, with my heart wide open
Your love is constant
You are disarming every fear
My soul awakens
I know You're here
You're always here
So I'm gonna worship
With my heart wide open
I don't wanna miss a thing
Cause You take what was broken
And make it new
I'm gonna trust You
With my heart, with my heart wide open
With my heart, with my heart wide open
I'm getting lost in Your presence
I'm seeing glimpses of heaven
Oh, I could stay here forever
With my heart, with my heart wide open
I'm getting lost in Your presence
I'm seeing glimpses of heaven
Oh, I could stay here forever
With my heart, with my heart wide open
I'm getting lost in Your presence
I'm seeing glimpses of heaven
Oh, I could stay here forever and ever
With my heart, with my heart wide open
So I'm gonna worship
With my heart wide open
I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause You take what was broken
And make it new
I'm gonna trust You
With my heart, with my heart wide open
With my heart, with my heart wide open
With my heart, with my heart wide open

Meaning & Inspiration
“Heart Wide Open” portrays worship as an unguarded response to God’s kindness and presence. The opening acknowledges that God sees a person fully, yet meets that person with enduring kindness rather than rejection. That assurance allows fear and self-protection to give way. Images of walls falling, freedom surrounding the worshiper, and a soul awakening make openness an act of trust rather than mere emotion.
The chorus links worship with restoration: what is broken can be made new, so the heart can be entrusted to God without reserve. The repeated desire not to miss anything suggests attentiveness to His presence, while the bridge’s glimpses of heaven express delight in remaining near Him. Scripture often associates God’s presence with freedom, joy, and honest self-examination, themes that align closely with the lyric. By returning to the phrase “heart wide open,” the song frames worship as willing surrender before a God whose constant love disarms fear and welcomes honesty.
