At The Heart Of It Lyrics – Benjamin William Hastings

[Verse 1]
When my whole world revolved around You like a planet
And I would trust You with my life like You had planned it
And when I’d worship, I’d unearth it
I swear I could stay there for hours
When losing myself was the art

[Chorus]
Now I’m just tryna get back to the heart of it
Leave behind the madness and the additives
And find that kid who sang about the stars
And danced on the dark
Like faith wasn’t hard
I’m just tryna get back to the start again
That feeling that I had, you know? The innocence
And cut out all the unimportant parts and hide in Your arms
And know who You are
I’m just tryna get back to your heart

[Verse 2]
When writing songs was just my way to show affection
And they were only ever made for Your attention
Cause when I’d worship, I would word it
Like there’s one in the audience charts
When losing myself was the art

[Chorus]
But now I’m just tryna get back to the heart of it
Leave behind the madness that entangles it
And keep on tryna sing about the stars
And dance on the dark
Like faith isn’t hard
Look, I’m just tryna get back to the start again
That feeling that I had, you know? When faith began
And how to light a fire without a spark
Find joy in the dark
Forgive when it’s hard

[Bridge]
Cause if I’m honest
I’m done with almost all of it but You
All the additives, the nonsense
You’re all I ever wanted
And I’ll go all in
Just rid me of the parts that aren’t of You
And forgive where I departed
You’re all I ever wanted
Cause if I’m honest
I’m done with almost all of it but You
All the additives, the nonsense
When You’re all I ever wanted
And I’ll go all in
Just rid me of the parts that aren’t of You
And forgive where I departed
You’re all I’ve ever wanted
Lord, forgive me, I’ve departed
But You’re all I’ve ever wanted

[Chorus]
So now I’m just tryna get back to the heart of it
I’m trying to get some warmth back in my daily bread
And sing with the Infinity of stars inside of Your arms
That know whose they are
I’m just tryna get back to the start again
But since I can’t go back I might as well advance
And run into those everlasting arms
You didn’t bring me this far
To leave me in the dark
So I’ll find You on the other side of hard
Though life left its mark
Through wrinkles and scars

[Outro]
I’m just tryna get back to Your heart
