Our heart, our desire
Is to see the nations worship
Our cry, our prayer
Is to sing Your praise
To the ends of the earth
That with one mighty voice
Every tribe and tongue rejoices
Our heart, our desire
Is to see the nations worship You
Our heart, our desire
Is to see the nations worship
Our cry, our prayer
Is to sing Your praise
To the ends of the earth
That with one mighty voice
Every tribe and tongue rejoices
Our heart, our desire
Is to see the nations worship You
Heavenly Father
Your mercy showers
Down upon Your people
Every race upon the earth
May Your Spirit pierce the darkness
Break the chains of death upon us
Let us rise in honest worship
To declare Your matchless worth
Our heart, our desire
Is to see the nations worship
Our cry, our prayer
Is to sing Your praise
To the ends of the earth
And with one mighty voice
Every tribe, every tongue rejoices
Our heart, our desire
Is to see the nations worship You
Our heart, our desire
Is to see the nations worship
(to see all of the nations worship)
Our cry, our prayer
Is to sing Your praise
To the ends of the earth
That with one, one mighty voice
Every tribe, every tongue rejoices
Our heart, our desire
Is to see the nations worship You
Our heart, our desire
Is to see the nations worship
"Our Heart" by Don Moen is a beautiful worship song that expresses a deep desire for the nations to worship God. The lyrics convey a heartfelt cry and prayer for the nations to come together in unity and sing praises to God.
The song starts off by declaring the longing of the singer's heart and their desire to see all nations worshiping God. It reflects a global perspective, recognizing that worship should not be limited to a specific culture or people group, but should encompass every tribe and tongue.
This theme of global worship is inspired by biblical passages such as Psalm 86:9, which says, "All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name." It is clear that God desires all people from every nation to worship Him, and this song echoes that same desire.
The song continues by expressing the hope that with one mighty voice, every tribe and tongue will rejoice in worshiping God. This unity in worship is reminiscent of Revelation 7:9-10, which describes a vision of heaven where people from every nation and tribe stand before the throne of God, singing praises to Him.
As the song progresses, it acknowledges God as our Heavenly Father and recognizes His mercy that showers down upon His people. This reference to God's mercy aligns with scripture such as Lamentations 3:22-23, which says, "Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
The lyrics also speak of the power of the Holy Spirit to pierce the darkness and break the chains of death. This imagery reflects the message of Romans 8:11, which says, "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you." The Holy Spirit has the power to bring life and freedom, and the song encourages us to rise in honest worship as a response to this.
"Our Heart" by Don Moen carries a message of unity, hope, and a longing for all nations to come together in worshiping God. It is a reminder that worship is not confined to a specific location or group, but is a universal expression of love and adoration for our Creator.
In conclusion, "Our Heart" by Don Moen is a powerful worship song that stirs the heart and inspires a desire for the nations to worship God. Its biblical foundations, global perspective, and heartfelt lyrics make it a meaningful and impactful song that resonates with believers worldwide. May this song continue to ignite a passion for worship in the hearts of all who listen to it.
