Heavyhearted
The Glorious Unseen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it speaks to my darkest place?
Why do I always feel like I'm Your disgrace?
I'm sick of saving face
And when I feel so heavyhearted I know You're taking me back
And when You take me as I am it's like the sunlight gracing the land
And when I feel heavyhearted please come and take my hand
Where is the message of hope
When I'm sick and I'm all alone?
Why do I listen to doubt? Why do I shut You out?
You're what I need the most
And though I feel so heavyhearted I know You're taking me back
And when You take me as I am it's like the sunlight gracing the land
And when I feel heavyhearted please come and take my hand
Heavyhearted again, heavyhearted
It's so crazy, how You sustain me
When I am down in the dirt You come and claim me
Father, Your burden is light, I need Your love tonight
I'm reaching out to You
And when You take me as I am it's like the sunlight gracing the land
And when I feel heavyhearted please come and take my hand
Heavyhearted again
And when You take me as I am it's like the sunlight gracing the land
And when I feel heavyhearted please come and take my hand
Heavyhearted again, I'm heavyhearted again
I'm heavyhearted again but so close to You
The song "Heavyhearted" by The Glorious Unseen is a reflection on the singer's struggles with doubt and self-worth, and their ultimate redemption through grace.

Despite these struggles, the singer finds hope and comfort in their relationship with God. They acknowledge that they often turn away from Him and succumb to doubt and loneliness, but ultimately find solace in the knowledge that they are loved unconditionally. The imagery of sunlight gracing the land is used to represent the transformative power of God's love and forgiveness. The singer recognizes that they are not perfect, but they are redeemed in the eyes of God and find peace in their faith.
