Petra's song "We Hold Our Hearts Out To You" is a worshipful prayer of surrender and unity. The lyrics acknowledge human failure and shame, yet find consolation in God's promises. The song emphasizes gathering together under God's name, seeking healing, forgiveness, and restoration. It reflects on how believers sometimes forget their purpose but can refocus on Christ, who makes things real. The imagery of holding out shattered dreams and broken hearts to Jesus, who binds them with a loving hand, conveys trust in His understanding and care. Based on Philippians 2:2, it calls for unity and humility, making it a heartfelt expression of dependence on God.

[Based on Philippians 2:2]
Here we are gathered once again under Your Name
Thinking of the ways we all have caused You shame
But we can find consolation in the things that You said
We are all bound in our hearts by a common thread
We look to You who made us one
To give us strength and bring our hearts back to where we've begun
So together we hold all our hearts out to You
And we all can believe You know just what to do
Heal and forgive us, make us all just like new
Jesus, we hold our hearts out to You
Jesus, we hold our hearts out to You
Sometimes we forget what it is that brings us here
Sometimes we forget what it means to be sincere
And there are times we are bothered when we don't seem to feel
Then we all focus on the One who makes things real
We look around and we feel strong
We feel Your presence then we know that this is where we belong
And when we hold out all our lost and shattered dreams
You will be binding every heart with broken seams
With a warm and loving hand
You understand
