Background
"Then I go into a song called After Your Heart which is kind of a proclamation saying, Everybody, you listeners and me let's come together and join this revolution that Jesus started about living selflessly and living a life of sacrifice and being a servant. Lets live for holding nothing back instead of wanting to hold everything close, let's let it all go and just surrender." -Phil Wickham
Reception
Critical response
After Your Heart has received generally positive review from music critics.
Russ Breimeier from Christianity Today International: "After Your Heart" comes off hokey and derivative, its rallying cry of "being the revolution" goes beyond clicheacute."
"Phil's channeling Keven Max again on this one. Listen to the drum and bass line on the verses and tell me you're not hooked. The chorus and bridge both have unique rhythm feels apart from the verses, and the little piano melody connects them all together nicely." -Consuming Worship

After Your Heart
by: Phil WickhamCan I have your attention?
What are we starting here?
Just look around you 'cause the answer is clear
Listen, listen and hear the coming sound
All of the children are singing it loud
Let's be the revolution
That lives for holding nothing back, nothing back
We're after Your heart, after Your heart
All of the walls now are breaking apart
Live like we see it, love like we mean it
This is the start we're after Your heart
Start the ascension, begin the holy climb
Up to where heaven and earth collide
Bring your affection al that you have inside
Enter the kingdom and become alive
'Cause love with no condition
It lives for holding nothing back, nothing back
We're after Your heart, after Your heart
All of the walls now are breaking apart
Live like we see it, love like we mean it
This is the start we're after Your heart
Oh, let's go higher and higher
Hear the sound of the free
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Lift your soul join with the choir
Sing the song let it ring
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We're after Your heart
Never going to stop until we reach You
We're after Your heart, after Your heart
All of the walls now are breaking apart
Live like we see it, love like we mean it
This is the start we're after Your heart
We're after Your heart
