We're after your heart, we're not after your hand
You made us part of your wonderful plan
You gave us the arts to impart this to man
Therefore we need you to...Purify
We're after your heart, we're not after your hand
You made us part of your wonderful plan
You gave us the arts to impart this to man
Therefore we need you to...be glorified
People got questions like why am I here? Plus what is my purpose?
Why did He make me and place me on earth's surface?
What was His reasoning I know that He's perfect
I know that He made me so I could give him worship
But, with my life and not merely lip service
The just live by faith I've been purchased
So purge us Lord please help us to purpose
In our hearts to live godly until the earth has
Passed away or until the day we pass away
You give grace to the humble, the proud you cast away
We want to please you our Father we know we have to pray
We want to give you twenty-four hours not half a day
And with all I have to say I'll keep it brief
I pray that you keep filling me up so I can feed your sheep
The world we live in is crazy Father we need your peace
We're saying Jesus please...Purify
We're after your heart, we're not after your hand
You made us part of your wonderful plan
You gave us the arts to impart this to man
Therefore we need you to...Purify
We're after your heart, we're not after your hand
You made us part of your wonderful plan
You gave us the arts to impart this to man
Therefore we need you to...be glorified
This is a romance Lord you got the candlelight
We hear you whispering, teaching us how to handle life
The prince of peace Your footprints are on the sands of life
A loving Father, You're teaching us how to stand and fight
We know our standards like high as the sky
So help us to say no to the desires inside, Lord
I can be haughty, I got to die to my pride
Your eyes are always on us it's like we hired a spy
But the difference is You're examining our hearts
You're teaching us to stand 'cause our stamina is short
The planet is handing us glamour and in short
We yield to the demands of Your commandments to endure
And to be pure help us to watch what we watch
Plus watch what we say at every watch of the day
We don't want to fall in sin so we watch and we pray
Plus we stop and we say Lord...
We're after your heart, we're not after your hand
You made us part of your wonderful plan
You gave us the arts to impart this to man
Therefore we need you to...Purify
We're after your heart, we're not after your hand
You made us part of your wonderful plan
You gave us the arts to impart this to man
Therefore we need you to...be glorified
Lord, I really want to want you without all the stuff
And fall in love with Your person, I wouldn't call Your bluff
To live holy our Father we hear You calling us
We want to grow to the point in which You are enough
And that's hard stuff I ain't gonna lie but You will sustain us
Since we're attached to the vine plus
You gave us Your word in print and that is Your mind
A revelation of who You are so after this rhyme
I pray you worship God, He's so merciful
He's so holy His character's not versatile
Obey that's what I'm trying to say in a verse or two
We keep You first as You...Purify
We're after your heart, we're not after your hand
You made us part of your wonderful plan
You gave us the arts to impart this to man
Therefore we need you to...Purify
We're after your heart, we're not after your hand
You made us part of your wonderful plan
You gave us the arts to impart this to man
Therefore we need you to...be glorified
After Your Heart by Da' T.R.U.T.H. is a powerful song that speaks to the desire to pursue God's heart above all else. It is a call to live a life that is pleasing to God, not just going through the motions or seeking His hand for blessings, but truly seeking to know His heart and follow His will.
The song begins by acknowledging that we are part of God's wonderful plan, that He has given us gifts and talents to use for His glory. It emphasizes that our purpose is not just to achieve success or fulfill our own desires, but to live in a way that glorifies God and brings Him honor.
One of the recurring themes in the song is the need for purification. It acknowledges that we are flawed and in need of God's cleansing and transformation in our lives. This echoes the biblical teaching that we are all sinners and fall short of God's glory (Romans 3:23), but through God's grace and forgiveness, we can be made new and walk in righteousness.
The song also highlights the importance of prayer and seeking God's guidance in our lives. It recognizes that we need God's strength and wisdom to navigate the challenges and temptations of this world. It encourages us to watch what we watch, say, and do, to be mindful of our actions and strive to live in a way that is pleasing to God.
Scripture verses that relate to the theme of the song include Psalm 51:10, which says, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." This verse captures the heart cry of the song, acknowledging our need for God's purification and transformation. It is a plea for God to mold us into vessels that reflect His righteousness and love.
Another verse that aligns with the message of the song is Matthew 5:8, which says, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." This verse reminds us that purity of heart is a prerequisite for experiencing the fullness of God's presence and blessings in our lives. It encourages us to pursue a life of holiness and righteousness, seeking to please God with our thoughts, words, and actions.
The song's lyrics also touch on the idea of surrendering our own desires and seeking God's will above all else. It emphasizes the need to let go of pride and selfishness and to submit our lives to God's plan. This echoes the teaching of Jesus in Luke 9:23, where He says, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." This verse challenges us to prioritize God's will and to live a life of selflessness and obedience.
Overall, After Your Heart by Da' T.R.U.T.H. is a powerful reminder of the importance of pursuing God's heart above all else. It calls us to live lives that are pleasing to God, seeking His purification, guidance, and will. May this song inspire us to seek after God's heart in all that we do and to live lives that bring Him glory.
