I Give You My Heart - Hillsong Worship & Delirious?
Meaning & Inspiration
"I Give You My Heart," a powerful collaboration between Hillsong Worship and Delirious?, released on December 26, 2018, stands as a profound declaration of complete surrender and unwavering devotion to God. This anthem emerges not just as a song, but as a living prayer, articulating a desire to offer every facet of one's existence as a sacred offering. The core message is deeply rooted in the biblical principle of presenting ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, a concept powerfully articulated by the Apostle Paul in Romans 12:1. This verse lays the foundation for the song's entire ethos, encouraging a radical reorientation of our lives towards divine purpose. The title itself, "I Give You My Heart," is a direct echo of Jesus' own words in Matthew 22:37, where He declares, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." The song unpacks this commandment, moving beyond mere emotional sentiment to a conscious, active commitment of our will, our thoughts, and our very being. It’s a comprehensive surrender, acknowledging God’s sovereignty and worthiness of our absolute devotion, mirroring the psalmist’s fervent declaration in Psalm 86:11, "Teach me your ways, Lord, that I may honor you." The beauty of "I Give You My Heart" lies in its honest acknowledgment of our limitations and imperfections, while simultaneously expressing a profound trust in God’s grace to empower this surrender. It’s not a song of effortless perfection, but of earnest desire and faithful obedience, embodying the spirit of David’s prayer in Psalm 51:10, "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." The song calls listeners to a similar posture, to actively choose to lay down their ambitions, their desires, and their very lives at the feet of the One who first loved them, as evidenced in 1 John 4:19, "We love because he first loved us." Ultimately, "I Give You My Heart" is an invitation to embrace a transformative relationship with God, one marked by an all-encompassing offering of love and loyalty, reflecting the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ and our response to that boundless love.
