God is Looking at My Heart
Beyond the Surface: Embracing God's Gaze on the Canvas of My Heart
Lyrics
When I smile, when I frown
God observes me both in moments of joy (smile) and sorrow (frown).
When my world turns upside down
God is aware of my life's challenges and disruptions.
When I reach the goal
Whether I achieve my goals or fall short, God is attentive.
Or when I miss the mark
God sees me both in my successes (reaching the goal) and failures (missing the mark).
I'm so glad God is lookin' at my heart
Expressing gratitude that God examines the condition of my heart.
When I'm good, when I'm bad
God observes me in moments of goodness and badness.
When I'm happy, when I'm sad
God is mindful of my emotions, whether happy or sad.
When it looks like I'm about to fall apart
Even when it seems like I might fall apart, God pays attention.
I'm so glad God is lookin' at my heart
Expressing gratitude for God's scrutiny of the speaker's heart.
Well I'm rough around the edges
Despite being imperfect, the speaker acknowledges God's thorough examination.
But He's looking deep within
God focuses on what is beneath the surface of the speaker.
He's only concerned about what's underneath my skin
Emphasizing God's concern for the speaker's inner self.
When I'm high, when I'm low
God is aware of the speaker's highs and lows in life.
When I stay and when I go
God observes the speaker's decisions to stay or leave.
And when my song's a hit, or nowhere near the chart
Whether the speaker's song is successful or not, God pays attention.
I'm so glad God is looking at my heart
Expressing gratitude for God's continuous focus on the speaker's heart.
When my hair's a little long
God sees the speaker even in moments of unconventional appearance.
And when my wardrobe seems all wrong
Despite external judgments, the speaker is considered a work of art in God's eyes.
Well in His eyes, I'm still a work of art
Emphasizing that God's perspective differs from societal norms.
I'm so glad God is looking at my heart
Expressing gratitude for God's continuous examination of the speaker's heart.
I may not look the same as you
The speaker acknowledges differences with others in appearance.
I may do things you'd never do
Recognition that individual actions may differ.
But He made us differently to play our different parts
Highlighting God's intentional design for diverse roles.
I'm so glad God is looking at my heart
Expressing gratitude for God's inclusive scrutiny of diverse hearts.
Don't you know that I'm rough around the edges
Reiteration of personal imperfections with gratitude for God's thorough examination.
But He looks deep within
God's focus goes beyond surface aspects to the depths of the speaker.
He's only concerned about what's underneath my skin
Emphasizing God's concern for the inner self once again.
Some are big, some are small
Recognition of diversity in people's characteristics.
Praise the Lord, He loves us all
Gratitude for God's love, regardless of individual differences.
It doesn't matter if we're dumb or super smart
Underlining the insignificance of intelligence in God's assessment.
I'm so glad God is looking at my heart
Expressing gratitude for God's focus on the speaker's heart.
Oh I'm glad, God is looking at my heart
(Refrain)
I'm so glad God is looking at my heart
Final expression of gratitude for God's continuous examination of the speaker's heart.
