Acapeldridge's 'Listen to Our Hearts' is a worship song that expresses the inadequacy of human words to fully convey love and gratitude to God. The lyrics acknowledge that God knows our hopes and fears, and that praise flows from redeemed hearts. The song emphasizes that even the best words fall short, so the singer asks God to listen to the heart's silent worship. It reflects a deep desire to communicate love and thankfulness beyond verbal expression, touching on themes of praise, surrender, and the personal relationship between the believer and God.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

How do you explain, how do you describe

A love that goes from east to west, and runs as deep as it is wide. 

You know all our hopes, Lord you know all our fears.

And words cannot express the love we feel, but we long for you to hear.


So listen to our hearts, hear our spirits sing

A song of praise that flows from those you have redeemed.

We will use the words we know to tell you what an awesome God you are,

But words are not enough to tell you of our love, so listen to our hearts.


If words could fall like rain from these lips of mine,

And if I had a thousand years, Lord I would still run out of time.

If you listen to my heart, every beat will say,

Thank you for the life, thank you for the truth, thank you for the way.


So listen to our hearts, hear our spirits sing

A song of praise that flows from those you have redeemed.

We will use the words we know to tell you what an awesome God you are,

But words are not enough to tell you of our love, so listen to our hearts.
