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!
