Lyrics

I know you’re hurtin’, I can see it in your eyes
So pull back the curtain and take off your disguise
Whoever told you, 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 your fear
Step out of 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 sittin’ there shakin’ His head
Writin’ you off, leavin’ you lost
He’s not sittin’ there shakin’ His head
Wishin’ He’d never went to that cross
He’s not sittin’ there shakin’ His head
Writin’ you off, leavin’ you lost
He’s not sittin’ there shakin’ His head
He went to that cross, He went to that cross

‘Cause He loves you so much
Ooh-ooh, yeah

There’s only love in the heart of God
No room for shame in His open arms
He makes beauty from ashes, so come as you are (come as you are)
‘Cause there’s only love in the heart of God (heart of God)
No room for shame in His open arms
There’s beauty from ashes, so come as you are (come as you are)
‘Cause there’s only love in the heart of God (heart of God)
‘Cause there’s only love in the heart of God

About This Song

"When I think about who God is, the first characteristic that comes to my mind is love. The fact that He sent his son to die on the cross for our sins proves His unconditional love for each and every one of us. He didn't have to go to the cross, but He chose to go to the cross so we can have new life. We've all gone through things in our life where we feel like we aren't worthy and we don't deserve it, but there's no room for any of that in God's arms. When He looks at each one of us, all He sees is love. To me, that unconditional love is what truly changes hearts. That's the true heart of God." -Zach Williams
