439 Let God Into Your Heart
Chorus
God can only come into your heart
if you open it up to Him.
You can only see what God has and is
and you can only see His will for you
if He has come into your heart.
So open up your heart! Open up your heart!
Verse 1
At that time, you will discover
that everything about God is so precious,
that what He has is so worthy of treasuring.
Compared to that, the people,
the objects and events in your life,
yes, even your loved ones, are hardly worth mentioning.
You’ll see how small and lowly they are.
Pre-chorus
Everything else, everything else, will be nothing to you,
won’t draw you or command any price.
Nothing but God, nothing but God will draw you.
Chorus
God can only come into your heart
if you open it up to Him.
You can only see what God has and is
and you can only see His will for you
if He has come into your heart.
So open up your heart! Open up your heart!
Verse 2
In God’s humility you’ll see
His greatness and supremacy.
You will see His infinite wisdom and tolerance
in even something you thought small,
you will see His understanding of you
and His forbearance and patience.
This will produce in you a love for Him!
Verse 3
On that day, you’ll feel
that mankind lives in such a filthy world,
that nothing will be worth a mention—
the events of your life, even those you love,
their love for you, concern and protection.
Only God is your beloved, only Him you treasure most!
Chorus
God can only come into your heart
if you open it up to Him.
You can only see what God has and is
and you can only see His will for you
if He has come into your heart.
So open up your heart! Open up your heart!
Bridge
God’s love is so great and His essence is so holy.
In God there is no deceit, no evil, no envy, and no strife,
only righteousness and only authenticity.
Man should strive and long for everything God has and is.
Chorus
God can only come into your heart
if you open it up to Him.
You can only see what God has and is
and you can only see His will for you
if He has come into your heart.
So open up your heart! Open up your heart!
