Lyrics
[Intro - shouted, high-energy]
Yeah - He guards our hearts and minds!
Philippians four-seven, let it ride!
[Verse 1]
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,
Shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
I agree with the sentiment - no head or heart divide,
One believes with the mind, but the whole self comes alive.
Paul used “heart” almost as much as “mind,”
’Cause belief shakes the soul, not just a thought you can find.
[Pre-Chorus]
If truth hits your mind, and your heart stays cold…
Something in the story hasn’t taken hold…
[Chorus]
Hey! If the Gospel’s real, your heart’s gonna show
Love breaking out, like you’re ready to glow!
Mercy gets revealed, and the stubborn walls fall
If your heart never changes, you don’t get it at all.
Yeah - truth hits the mind, but it fires the soul,
In Christ we come alive… ready to glow!
[Verse 2]
Those shown their dark and sinful condition
Will be broken-hearted - yeah, that’s conviction.
Those shown mercy will want to be merciful too,
Those filled with His love will let that love shine through.
It’s impossible to believe without affection rearranged,
If your heart isn’t stirred, then your mind hasn’t changed.
[Pre-Chorus]
Some lean on cold orthodoxy, dead and dry…
Still clingin’ to conditions they think qualify…
[Chorus]
Hey! If the Gospel’s real, your heart’s gonna show
Love breaking out, like you’re ready to glow!
Mercy gets revealed, and the stubborn walls fall
If your heart never changes, you don’t get it at all.
Yeah - truth hits the mind, but it fires the soul,
In Christ we come alive… ready to glow!
[Bridge]
I’ve seen many men depart from the faith they once claimed.
They went out from us, but they were not of us.
Their hearts never changed, though their words were bold.
We preach to the mind, but we long
We long to see hearts on fire with love for Christ
And love for His people.
[Final Chorus]
Hey! If the Gospel’s real, your heart’s gonna show
Love breaking out, like you’re ready to glow!
No head-only faith, no academic control
If He’s changed your mind, He’s gonna change your soul.
Yeah - truth hits the mind, but it fires the soul,
In Christ we come alive… ready to glow!
