About This Song
We Turn Our Hearts is an invitation to gather, bow before the Lord, and become attentive to Jesus. Inspired by Psalm 95:6 and Matthew 18:20, it begins with a worshipping community bringing its worries, burdens, joys, and needs into His presence.
The song's repeated movement is simple: turn the heart, lift the eyes, and listen. These are not dramatic achievements. They are small acts of trust that redirect attention from the weight being carried to the faithfulness of the One who leads.
As the bridge repeats “You are here, You are near,” the prayer rests in Jesus' promise to be present where His people gather in His name. Worship becomes a shared posture of surrender: all that we are belongs to Him, and every fear can be laid at His feet.
Devotional
“Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker” (Psalm 95:6).
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them” (Matthew 18:20).
Worship begins with a deliberate turning. Psalm 95 calls God's people to come, bow down, and kneel before their Maker. The movement of the body expresses the posture of the heart: He is God, we belong to Him, and we can lay down the need to remain in control.
Jesus also promises His presence among those who gather in His name. Christian worship is not a crowd trying to persuade a distant God to draw near. It is a community responding to Christ, who is already faithful to be with His people.
That is why worries, burdens, joys, and needs can all be brought into the gathering. Nothing has to be hidden. Together, believers turn their hearts toward Jesus, rest within His grace, and listen for His leading.
Reflect: What are you carrying into worship today? Lay it before Jesus, turn your attention toward Him, and remember that He is present among His gathered people.
