Let The Heavens Open

Kari Jobe's song 'Let The Heavens Open' is a heartfelt plea for divine presence and intervention. The lyrics express a deep yearning for God to inhabit the space and hearts of the worshippers, inviting Him to 'come and have Your way.' This invitation is not just for a passive presence but for an active, transformative encounter, as indicated by the lines 'All consuming fire, move without restraint.' The imagery of fire here symbolizes the purifying and powerful nature of God's presence, capable of transforming lives and situations.

The chorus, 'Breathe on us, Spirit come, You're our heart's desire,' emphasizes the longing for the Holy Spirit's breath, which in biblical terms signifies life and renewal. This desire for spiritual renewal is further highlighted by the declaration, 'We stand in the glory of the King, knowing that You're here, You have set us free.' The freedom mentioned here is both spiritual and emotional, suggesting liberation from sin, fear, and any form of bondage. The worshippers' response is to offer their worship as a throne for God, acknowledging His majesty and the wholeness His presence brings.

The repeated plea, 'Let the Heavens open, let Your Kingdom move,' underscores the anticipation of divine action and the establishment of God's Kingdom on earth. This is a call for a dynamic faith that expects and believes in God's active involvement in the world. The song concludes with a powerful affirmation of faith, trust, and hope in 'our great God,' encapsulating the essence of Christian worship and the believer's reliance on divine power and grace.
