“Rooms In My Heart” is a gospel song about the parts of ourselves we keep closed off, unfinished, and hidden.
The song uses an old house as a picture of the heart. Some rooms are damaged. Some are dark. Some have been locked for so long we almost forget what is behind the door.
And then grace walks in. Not to tear the house down. Not to move us somewhere else. But to stay through the storm and begin repairing what we thought was beyond saving.
It is about surrender, healing, and the quiet realization that faith does not always arrive by removing the damage. Sometimes it enters the damaged places with us.
There are rooms filled with sorrow. Rooms filled with silence. Rooms we are ashamed to open. But there can also be rooms filled with mercy. Rooms filled with flowers. Rooms where the light finally gets back in.
And maybe healing begins when we stop deciding which parts of ourselves God is allowed to see.
