It never was about the oil dripping from my head
I never did dream beyond the pastures I could tend
It never was about the praise, not about the street parade
I didn't really need a crowd when Goliath fell down
I never meant to woo a king with simple shepherd songs
Or hide away inside a cave, safe from danger's arms
I never meant to wear a crown or try to bring armies down
It never was about me and who I hoped to be
At the end of the day I wanna hear people say
My heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
When the world looks at me, let them agree
That my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
I never thought I would be much more than Jesse's kin
Who would ever dream a king would come from Bethlehem?
I know that I've crashed and burned, their lives have been overturned
But You redeem everything, yeah, even me
At the end of the day I want to hear people say
That my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
When the world looks at me, I pray all they see
Is my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
Five little stones or a royal robe
Shepherd or king doesn't mean a thing
'Cause at the end of the day
At the end of the day I wanna hear people say
That my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
Unashamed I will dance, in Your name, lift my hands
'Til my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
Like Your heart
Like Your heart
Till this heart looks like Your heart
About This Song
"Your Heart" is a humble worship song that reflects on the life of David from the Bible, emphasizing that God's calling and favor were never about external achievements or personal ambition.

Musically, the song features Tomlin's signature contemporary Christian style with gentle acoustic elements and building orchestration that supports the introspective, reverent tone. The song's power lies in its message that God values character over performance, making it a meaningful reminder for believers that their worth comes from their relationship with God rather than worldly success. It stands out in Tomlin's catalog for its narrative approach and deeply personal examination of biblical calling.
