Steven Curtis Chapman - Listen to Our Hearts Lyrics

“Listen to Our Hearts” is shaped as a prayer of praise when ordinary speech feels inadequate. The verses describe divine love as immeasurable and acknowledge that God already knows every hope and fear. Against that scale of love and knowledge, the singers can offer only familiar words and the devotion carried within them. The chorus therefore asks God to receive the worship expressed by redeemed lives, even when language reaches its limits.

Gratitude becomes especially clear in the second verse, where every heartbeat is imagined as thanks for life, truth, and the way. That wording recalls biblical language about Christ while remaining a direct expression of worship. The song does not treat eloquence as the measure of praise; it centers sincerity, redemption, and sustained thanksgiving. Its repeated request for God to listen gives the lyric a quiet dependence, presenting worship as both spoken confession and inward love known fully by the Lord.
