Lyrics
Come and make my heart Your home
And come and be everything I am and all I know
And search me through and through
Till my heart becomes a home for You
Come and make my heart Your home
And come and be everything I am and all I know
And search me through and through
Till my heart becomes a home for You
A home for You Lord, a home for You, Lord
Let everything I do open up a door for You to come through
And that my heart would be a place where You want to be
Come and make my heart Your home
And come and be everything I am and all I know
And search me through and through
Till my heart becomes a home for You
A home for You Lord, a home for You, oh Lord
Let everything I do open up a door for You to come through
And that my heart would be a place where You want to be
'Cause you are my portion, filling up everything
You are the fortune that's causing my heart to sing
That it's amazing, that You could make Yourself at home with me
With me Lord come and make my heart
Come and make it Your home
And come and be everything I am and all I know
And search me through and through
Till my heart becomes a home for You
Till my heart becomes a home for You
Till my heart becomes a home for You Lord
For You, You You oh Lord

Meaning & Inspiration
My Heart Your Home uses the image of a dwelling place to express complete surrender to God. The singer asks for every part of life to become open to His presence, including actions, knowledge, and hidden motives. The repeated request to be searched keeps the song from treating divine presence as a comforting idea alone; it also welcomes examination and change. God is described as both portion and treasure, making fellowship with Him the source of contentment and praise.
The prayer closely echoes Psalm 139:23-24, where the psalmist asks God to search the inner life and lead in the everlasting way. Its language of Christ making a home within also aligns with Ephesians 3:17, which speaks of Christ dwelling in hearts through faith. The house metaphor gives practical shape to devotion: every deed becomes a doorway through which God’s character may be expressed. Repetition turns that metaphor into a sustained prayer for an inner life where worship, obedience, and God’s presence belong together.
