Heaven's Home: A Humble Heart's Offering
Lyrics
He who dwells in heaven's heights
Expressing a recognition of a divine being residing in the highest realms of heaven.
Please come and make Your home
An invitation for the divine being to establish a home within the speaker.
The broken pieces of my heart
Referring to the speaker's emotionally shattered heart.
Please build to be Your throne
Asking the divine being to construct a throne from the broken pieces, symbolizing a transformation of pain into a divine connection.
I cannot offer anything
Expressing the speaker's humility, acknowledging the inadequacy of anything they can offer.
Deserving of Your name
Acknowledging that nothing the speaker can give is truly deserving of the divine being's name.
But at Your invitation I
Despite unworthiness, the speaker responds to the divine invitation with sincerity.
Have come here just the same
Reaffirming the speaker's presence despite their perceived shortcomings.
I know that what I offer you
Recognizing the limited value of the speaker's offerings to the divine.
Is nothing much to see
Acknowledging the speaker's awareness that their offerings may not be impressive.
But what I have I'm giving
The speaker commits to giving what they have, emphasizing sincerity over material worth.
My heart, my hands, my feet
The speaker lists specific elements (heart, hands, feet) symbolizing a holistic dedication to the divine.
And soon enough the sun will rise
An anticipation of a new day, symbolizing a fresh start and optimism.
And I will start my day
Before beginning the day, the speaker prioritizes connecting with the divine.
But first I come before Your throne
The speaker approaches the divine's throne for guidance before starting their day.
To hear what You would say

And You say
Transitioning to a divine response.
Heaven's my throne
The divine being communicates that heaven serves as their throne, emphasizing their transcendent nature.
And my footstool the earth
The earth is described as a footstool, underscoring the divine's vast dominion.
So where is a house you could build for my worth
The divine challenges the notion of building a house worthy of their worth, highlighting their omnipresence.
But here is a place in which I gladly dwell
The divine being expresses satisfaction in dwelling within the humble heart rather than a physical structure.
The heart of the humble will know me well
Recognition that those with humble hearts will have a deep understanding and connection with the divine.
