When I Lost My Heart To You
Hillsong United Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love
Laid its breath against my chest
My skin was thick
But You breathed down all my walls

Love
Like the fire steals the cold
The ice wore thin
As Your light tore through my door

You have my heart
You have my heart
You have my heart oh God
You have my heart

Oh hallelujah
Hallelujah
Oh hallelujah
I found Your love
When I lost my heart to You

Love
Trading crowns to wear my shame
The Prince's throne for the cross that bore my thorns

Oh love
Like crashing waves of endless grace




You won't relent
Until all I am is Yours

Overall Meaning

The song "When I Lost My Heart to You" by Hillsong United describes a powerful experience with God's love. The first verse speaks of love breathing down the singer's walls, a metaphor for how someone's guard is let down and they become vulnerable when they fall in love. However, this love is even more intense than human love, as it breaks down all of the singer's walls and gets past their tough exterior. The second verse continues with the theme of love being transformative, comparing it to fire that melts away the ice. The imagery in this verse suggests that the singer's heart was cold and hardened before they encountered God's love, which broke through and changed them.


The chorus is a declaration of the singer's devotion to God, stating that He has their heart. This is a common theme in Christian music, as surrendering one's heart to God is seen as the ultimate act of faith. The repetition of "hallelujah" emphasizes the joy the singer feels as a result of this surrender. The bridge then describes how God's love allowed the singer to exchange their shame for a crown. This is another metaphor, as the singer is choosing to honor God instead of themselves. The final line of the song is a statement of complete submission, as the singer declares that they belong entirely to God.

Love
The feeling of love


Laid its breath against my chest
Love washed over me


My skin was thick
I had built up walls around my heart


But You breathed down all my walls
You broke down my barriers and opened my heart


Like the fire steals the cold
Love consumes everything in its path


The ice wore thin
My defenses weakened


As Your light tore through my door
Your love shone through and entered my heart


You have my heart
I give you all of me


Oh hallelujah
Praise for the love I have found


Hallelujah
I am grateful for Your love


I found Your love
I discovered the depth of Your love


When I lost my heart to You
When I surrendered myself completely to You


Trading crowns to wear my shame
You took on my sins and shame


The Prince's throne for the cross that bore my thorns
You gave up Your heavenly throne to die for me on the cross


Like crashing waves of endless grace
Your love is abundant and limitless


You won't relent
You never give up on me


Until all I am is Yours
Until I am completely surrendered to You

First of all, sorry for my bad English. I hope you can understand the message of my writing.

I am proud of you, even though you are hit by difficult situations, you still have strong hope in Jesus. I believe, you have prayed in tears, asking that you be healed.

But, Jesus already knows what you want. Do you know what God wants to happen in your life?

Do not force our wishes to happen in life. Surrender your life completely and let God's wants happens in your life.

Whether your infertility will be cured or not until later, do not lose your faith in God, keep living with joy and peace. Maybe, your suffering is actually an opportunity for you to share the cross with Jesus. Let the world speak badly and humiliate you, just as Jesus was also humiliated and crucified by the world. But one thing you must know, Jesus is always with you.

Matthew 16:24, KJV: "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."

Asking God to heal you in your prayer, of course allowed. But don't forget, always end that prayer with surrender to God's will.

Jesus bless us!!



Joseph Smith

Salve Salve São Paulo ( BRASIL)..TRADUÇÃO... (( Quando Perdi Meu Coração Para Ti (Aleluia)

Amor
Respirou contra o meu peito
Minha pele era grossa
Mas você soprou e todos os meus muros caíram

Amor
Como o fogo rouba o frio
O gelo ficou fraco
Enquanto sua luz invadia através de minha porta

Você tem meu coração
Você tem meu coração
Você tem meu coração, oh Deus
Você tem meu coração

Oh, aleluia
Aleluia
Oh, aleluia
Eu encontrei o seu amor
Quando perdi meu coração para ti

Amor
Trocando coroas para vestir minha vergonha
O trono do Príncipe pela
cruz que suportou meus espinhos
Oh, amor
Como ondas que quebram em infinita graça
Você não descansará
Até que tudo o que sou seja seu... ))

O Jesus!
If the radiance of your face were not the color of the moon, on a night full of stars
And if you were not that colorful moment, when spring blossoms into flowers
O Jesus! I could not love you so
My love for you is my life flowing in all its fullness
Like an ocean on a midsummers day, that sings with all its waves and currents
Like a bird soaring high, making love circles in the blue skies
Like a seed hidden in the earth, beholding the light of life
Like a fire stills the cold, burning into the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log
You have my heart because everything carries me to you
O hallelujah! I found your love when I lost my heart to you
Let me know all your shores
Let me sink into you, my heart,
Singing of your glory
Beautiful as the waves❤️

This song reminds me the story in Luke 7:38. It is as if she is singing it,

''When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.''

She breaks down the judgment barriers, go strait to Jesus that is where rest is. She don’t even need to speak, just surrender, no imitation, just come as she is. It gives me a shiver whenever I think Jesus love. It so pure, no means to explain it. You can only experiance it personally. ''I found your love when i lost my heart to you '' .

AMEN

"A broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise."
-Psalm 51:17

This is what He has wanted from the beginning - true repentance, true surrender; no doubt, only trust; and a true change of heart; blessed are the poor in spirit because they are those who recognize the heinousness of their sins and that God's anger and judgement are just, and they recognize their spiritual poverty and desperate need for a Savior and the Savior's grace, and they know their desperate need to be guided by Father God's Holy Spirit. The woman who wept at the feet of Jesus did exactly this. She knew she had sinned, and wiping the feet of Jesus with her tears was her way of repenting and surrendering. This is what He has wanted from the start, for His people to not live in denial, but to truly surrender to Him and wholeheartedly follow Him, live for Him, trust in Him, rejecting all fear and resisting the devil, turning to Him for all of their needs and setting Him as a seal on their hearts, a seal on their arms. What does "the seal" means? The seal on the heart has to do with love, and the seal on the arm had to do with actions. The Hebrew word for love is not just a feeling, it's an action. And that's what God desires, that's the "sacrifice" He desires to see - true love and true dedication, true honesty and recognition that without Him, we can never be enough and without Him, we can never know purity, freedom and true peace. We need Him, and He knows that, and He wants us to know it too. A broken and a contrite heart He will not despise. A life surrendered to Him amd to His will, can become a life transformed. Our God is the purest love. He has my heart, and I have His, forever... ❤
