Phil Wickham Album: Cannons Track: After Your Heart
After Your Heart Lyrics
Can I have your attention What are we starting here Just look around you the answer is clear Listen, listen And hear the coming sound All of the children are singing it loud
Let's be the revolution That lives for hold nothing back, nothing back
We're after Your heart, after Your heart All of the walls now are breaking apart Live like we see it love like we mean it This is the start we're after Your heart
Start the ascension Begin the holy climb Up to where heaven and the earth collide Bring your affection All that you have inside Enter the kingdom and become alive
Love with no condition It lives for holding nothing back, nothing back
Oh lets go higher and higher Hear the song of the free Hallelujah, Hallelujah Lift your soul join with the choir Sing the song, let it ring Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We're after Your heart never going to stop until we reach You
Song Description: "During the last year and a half of touring my last record, I found that I not only wanted God-directed songs; you know, songs written to God that people could join in with me and sing, but I also wanted songs that would actually be written to the listener, songs that would challenge people to stand, to live, to be for the Lord. Like, "C'mon everyone! Let's live a life of purity and holiness and be a generation that's after God's heart." The pre-Chorus of the song seems to bring the whole theme into one line. It says, "Let's be the revolution that lives for holding nothing back." It's a song that I can't wait to sing live. It would be amazing to hear people sing out the Chorus with me and mean it, "We're after your heart, we're after your heart. All of the walls now are breaking apart. We'll live like we see it, and love like we mean it!" It's one of those get up and fight kinda songs, which I've never written before, and I hope that people will respond to it." - Phil Wickham
