At The Heart Of It lyrics
by Benjamin William Hastings
[Verse 1]
When my whole world revolved around You like a planet
And I would trust You with my life like You had planned it
And when I'd worship, I'd unearth it
I swear I could stay there for hours
When losing myself was the art
[Chorus]
Now I'm just tryna get back to the heart of it
Leave behind the madness and the additives
And find that kid who sang about the stars
And danced on the dark, like faith wasn't hard
I'm just tryna get back to the start again
That feelin' that I had, you know? The innocence
And cut out all the unimportant parts
And hide in Your arms, and know who You are
[Post-Chorus]
I'm just tryna get back to Your heart
To Your heart
[Verse 2]
When writing songs was just my way to show affection
And they were only ever made for Your attention
'Cause when I'd worship, I would word it
Like there's one in the audience charts
When losing myself was the art
[Chorus]
But now I'm just tryna get back to the heart of it
Leave behind the madness that entangles it
And keep on tryna sing about the stars
And dance on the dark, like faith isn't hard
Look, I'm just tryna get back to the start again
That feelin' that I had, you know? When faith began
And how to light a fire without a spark
Find joy in the dark, forgive when it's hard
[Bridge]
'Cause if I'm honest, I'm done with almost all of this but You
All the additives, the nonsense
You're all I've ever wanted
And I'll go all in, just rid me of the parts that aren't of You
And forgive where I departed
You're all I've ever wanted
'Cause if I'm honest, I'm done with almost all of it but You
All the additives, the nonsense
When You're all I've ever wanted
And I'll go all in, just rid me of the parts that aren't of You
And forgive where I departed
You're all I've ever wanted
Lord, forgive me, I departed
But You're all I've ever wanted
[Chorus]
So now I'm just tryna get back to the heart of it
I'm tryna get some warmth back in my daily bread
And sing with the infinity of stars
Inside of Your arms, that know whose they are
I'm just tryna get back to the start again
But since I can't go back, I might as well advance
And run into those everlasting arms
You didn't bring me this far to leave me in the dark
So I'll find You on the other side of hard
Though life left its mark, through wrinkles and scars
[Outro]
I'm just tryna get back to Your heart
