This week’s featured song story comes to us from Jesus Culture. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their new single “Halls Of Heaven,” an upbeat new anthem that captures the joy of boldly coming into God’s presence, knowing that we belong to Him and we are loved.
“Halls Of Heaven is really about just coming like a child into his presence. Me being a father, I love it when my kids run up to me in the morning, they come in bursting through the doors, jump on our beds and tells us whatever dreams they had that night, whatever. They just feel unafraid to be themselves around me and I think that’s how God obviously feels about us. He loves us unconditionally and he asks us to come boldly and come just as we are. ” – Chris Quilala (Jesus Culture)

“Halls Of Heaven” Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Like thunder, speaking from the clouds
Your word is always going out
Your whisper, I keep following the sound
Into Your presence
I get caught up
Shadows left behind
I get caught up
Drawn into Your light
I get caught up
Where Spirit is alive
Into Your presence
[Chorus]
Like a child we come running
Through the halls of Heaven
To the Holy of Holies
Doors are flung wide open
Joy is overflowing
In the halls of Heaven
We come running
We come running
Through the halls of Heaven
We come running
We come running
Through the halls of Heaven
[Verse 2]
Unhindered, all fear is letting go
Abandoned, a beauty to behold
I get caught up
I get caught up
I get caught up
[Chorus]
Like a child we come running
Through the halls of Heaven
To the Holy of Holies
Doors are flung wide open
Joy is overflowing
In the halls of Heaven
We come running
We come running
Through the halls of Heaven
We come running
We come running
Through the halls of Heaven
[Pre-Bridge]
Come on!
God tonight we’re here to meet You [in?] face to face
To pursue You with everything we have
‘Cause we know when we worship You show up
And You called us to come boldly before Your throne
Boldly into Your presence
Let’s sing this together
[Bridge]
Face to face with the glory of God
And heart to heart with the One that we love
Face to face with the glory of God
And heart to heart with the One that we love
Oh, face to face with the glory of God
And heart to heart with the One that we love
Face to face with the glory of God
And heart to heart with the One that we love
[Chorus]
Like a child we come running
Through the halls of Heaven
To the Holy of Holies
Doors are flung wide open
Joy is overflowing
In the halls of Heaven
We come running
We come running
Through the halls of Heaven
We come running
We come running
Through the halls of Heaven
[Outro]
We come running
We come running
Through the halls of Heaven
We come running
Can’t stop running
Through the halls of Heaven
