Your Heart – Chris Tomlin
I love Chris Tomlin’s music. He’s one of, if not my favorite artist. In all his music I have listened to, the meaning in the words and the emotion of the music leads me into worship. It’s a good feeling and has me nearly letting go of the steering wheel while driving just to raise my hands in worship or leave me in tears. Maybe sometime soon I’ll write about his many other great songs like “I Will Rise” and “Jesus Messiah”. But for now we have a song that I just recently found.
Chris Tomlin is involved in many movements including the Passion Talk with speaker Louie Giglio. He brings worship and praise to many concerts around the world. He’s also involved in DoSomethingNow which fights hunger and gives aid to many areas such as Haiti. He also founded FQWorship that helps worship leaders with material and training.
Title: Your Heart (David)
Artist: Chris Tomlin
Album: Music Inspired By The Story
The thing that really grabbed me about this song is the chorus, “At the end of the day, I wanna hear people say, My heart looks like Your heart” That really grabs me personally. I hope other’s also. What a greater honor than to hear someone say that you are walking the life Jesus wants for you. In many places in the bible, the scripture speaks about walking as Jesus did. Living as He did. He as an example for us as much a sacrifice for us.
1John2:6 – He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
The verses tell The Story’s record of David, but it’s a lot of symbolism we can apply to our own lives. Breaking from the world, putting down crowns we gained for God, losing our pride, walking as Christ did.
Lyrics:
It never was about the oil dripping from my head
I never did dream beyond the pastures I could tend
It never was about the praise, not about the street parade
I didn’t really need a crowd when Goliath fell down
I never meant to woo a king with simple shepherd songs
Or hide away inside a cave, safe from danger’s arms
I never meant to wear a crown, or try to bring armies down
It never was about me and who I hoped to be
At the end of the day, I wanna hear people say
My heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
When the world looks at me, let them agree
That my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
I never thought I would be much more than Jesse’s kin
Who would ever dream a king would come from Bethlehem?
I know that I’ve crashed and burned, lives have been overturned
But You redeem everything, yeah, even me
At the end of the day, I want to hear people say
That my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
When the world looks at me, I pray all they see
Is my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
Five little stones, or a royal robe
Shepherd or king doesn’t mean a thing
Cause at the end of the day…
At the end of the day, I wanna hear people say
That my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
Unashamed I will dance, in Your name, lift my hands
‘Til my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
Like Your heart, like Your heart
‘Til this heart looks like Your heart
