Song Meaning

Zach Williams opens “Heart Of God” by speaking to someone who is hiding. “I know you're hurting, I can see it in your eyes,” he says, then invites them to “pull back the curtain and take off your disguise.” The first verse names a lie, being told you aren't worth the fight, and offers a correction in the cross, a story “that'll change your mind.”

The chorus is a direct claim: “There's only love in the heart of God, no room for shame in His open arms.” The image that follows, “beauty from ashes, so come as you are,” makes the invitation specific. The second verse changes the audience to “prodigal children” and says it's “never too late” to “run home to the Father.” The bridge answers an assumption about God's attitude, “He's not sitting there shaking His head, writing you off, leaving you lost,” and ends on the reason, “He went to that cross.”

Beauty from ashes is Isaiah 61:3, and the father who welcomes his prodigal is Luke 15:20. The statement that there is no judgment here fits Romans 8:1, where there is no condemnation for those in Christ.

I know you're hurting

I can see it in your eyes

So, pull back the curtain

And take off your disguise

Whoever told you

Ain't worth the fight

The cross tells a story

That'll change your mind


'Cause there's only love in the heart of God

No room for shame in His open arms

There's beauty from ashes, so come as you are

And there's only love in the heart of God


Come, prodigal children

It's never too late

Run home to the Father

Let Him clothe you with grace

And bury your burdens

Break free from the fear

Step out the shadows

There's no judgment here


There's only love in the heart of God

No room for shame in His open arms

There's beauty from ashes, so come as you are

And there's only love in the heart of God


No, He's not sitting there shaking His head

Writing you off, leaving you lost

He's not sitting there shaking His head

Wishing He'd never went to that cross


He's not sitting there shaking His head

Writing you off, leaving you lost

He's not sitting there shaking His head

He went to that cross, He went to that cross


'Cause He loves you so much


There's only love in the heart of God

No room for shame in His open arms

There's beauty from ashes, so come as you are

'Cause there's only love in the heart of God


No room for shame in His open arms

There's beauty from ashes, so come as you are

'Cause there's only love in the heart of God

'Cause there's only love in the heart of God
