Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's just me and you
I feel so lost
Cause I don't know what to do
Now what if choose the wrong thing to do
I'm so afraid, afraid of disappointing you
So I need to talk to you
Especially today
When my world seems cloudy
Guide me until I'm sure
I open up my heart
My hopes and dreams
Are fading fast
I'm all burned out
And I don't think my strengths gonna last
So I'm crying out
Crying out to you
Lord I know that you're the only one
Who is able to pull me through
So I need to talk to you
And ask you for your guidance
Especially today
When my world seems cloudy
Guide me until I'm sure
I open up my heart
So show me how
To do things your way
Don't let me make the same mistakes
Over and over again
Your will be done
And I'll be the one
To make sure the it's carried out
And in me, I don't want any doubt
That's why
I need to talk to you
And ask you for your guidance
Especially today
When my life is a little bit cloudy
Guide me until I'm sure
I open up my heart
All I need to do
Is hear a single word from you
I open up my heart
Just one word could make
A difference in what I do Lord
I open my heart to you
You're the lover of my soul
Captain of my sea
I need a word from you
That's why I open up my heart
The song "Open My Heart" by Darrell Crawford is a powerful expression of the artist's vulnerability and reliance on God for guidance and strength. The lyrics convey the sense of being lost and unsure of what to do, but also the deep faith and trust that the singer has in God's ability to provide clarity and direction. The opening lines of the song set the scene, with the singer alone in a room with God, feeling lost and uncertain. This is a universal experience, one that many people can relate to, regardless of their faith or spiritual beliefs. The fear of disappointing God also speaks to the idea of a sense of moral obligation to do the right thing, even when it's not clear what that is.
The theme of seeking guidance and clarity continues throughout the song, with the chorus repeating the need to talk to God and ask for His guidance until the singer is sure. The imagery of the world being cloudy and fading hopes and dreams further emphasize the need for direction and hope, which can only come from God. The artist also acknowledges the importance of following God's will, rather than making the same mistakes over and over again. Ultimately, the message of the song is about the power of faith and the importance of opening up to God as a source of strength and guidance in uncertain times.
