This video depicts my personal journey to Charleston, SC and my own pain that has led me to Jesus. But, it also depicts the journey of those who have been victims of tragic hurricanes that bring disastrous flooding. In these cases, many people have gone through awful pain that have led them to Jesus as well. So, it doesn’t matter how you suffer, because we all suffer in different ways, what matters is that you realize through your suffering, Heaven’s Calling. And, those who realize that are truly blessed.
Matthew Harley is collaborating with industry veteran and music executive & producer, David Kershenbaum, to produce a follow up EP to the single “Heaven’s Calling”. The EP is planned for release Fall/Winter 2025.
SONG LYRICS: Heaven’s Calling
Lyrics by Matthew Hartley © 2025
The times are calling
Heaven open up your gate
Let your mind be free to follow
And if your falling
He’ll pick you right up where you belong
In the arms of Heaven’s calling
You can’t run away
He’s got His eyes on you
You can’t run away
There’s nothing else you can do
So when your heart is bawling
You know that Heaven’s calling out your name
When doubt is rising
And the world feels black and cold
Open up your heart to follow
And if you’re wondering
Does He love us all the same
In the eyes of Heaven’s calling
You can’t run away
He’s got His eyes on you
I can’t run away no no
There’s nothing else we can do
So when my heart is bawling
You know that Heaven’s calling out my name
Let the light break through the clouds
Feel the fire in your soul
Heaven’s calling out your name
You’ll never be the same
The times are calling
Heaven open up your gate
Let your mind be free to follow
And if your falling
He’ll put you right back where you belong
In the arms of Heaven’s calling
Oh no, Heaven’s calling
Oh no, Heaven’s calling
Oh no, Heaven’s calling out your name
Heaven’s calling
Heaven’s calling out your name
