Open Your Heart
Out Of Eden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see that you are lost; I've come to find you.
Even though you chose to leave and go your way.
You thought you'd find more than what I could give you.
So I let you go, still I want you to know.
I've seen you struggle, I've seen you crying.
Seen you do those things you swore you would never do.
Oh, your guilty soul has got you slowly dying.
What your running from, you should run to.

Chorus:
Open up your heart to me
and I will set you free.
Open up your eyes and see
I'm everything you need.
Open up your mind and know
I'll never let you go.
It won't be hard for you to believe
if you open up your heart to me.

You turn here and there for the things to make you happy.
You're on a high, but then you crash when those things tear you apart,yeah your broken heart.
Your broken heart needs my love that's real
and you will find
a touch from heaven is what will heal.
That touch is mine;
you can start again if you will open....

Repeat Chorus

And when yours does
fail you, you will find
your strength in me.
When you fall or lose
your place, you'll still be safe with me.
Come out of the darkness
into light so you can see.
I died for you, you must believe,
and open up your heart.





Repeat Chorus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Out Of Eden's song "Open Up Your Heart" insist on the idea of surrendering to God after facing desperation and experiencing the fallout of aimless pursuits. The verses discuss the woman's struggles as she chose to leave and wander her way, thinking she would find something more valuable than what God has to offer. But as an omnipresent figure, God acknowledges her actions and awaits her so that He may shed a light on the "darkness" in her life. He has witnessed her crying and hopeless state, indicating that He's been waiting for her and hasn't given up hope. The chorus frequents the idea of opening one's heart, mind and eyes to God, who vows to set them free, be their everything and never let them go. It reinforces faith and that those who turn to God in the time of loss, the need for restoration, will find their strength in Him.


The song's overall theme reminds listeners and worshipers of the faithfulness of God and the importance of turning to Him amid tough times. The song, however, is not just limited to Christian audiences, but it is also for people experiencing despair in their lives. The wordings used in the song move beyond faith, such as "come out of the darkness," which resonates with people who may be experiencing darkness, and God is portrayed as a loving and a ray of hope, offering redemption, restoration and healing to those who surrender themselves.
