Lyrics

This is my desire, to honour You
Lord with all my heart I worship You
all I have within me
I give You praise
all that I adore is in You


Chorus:
Lord I give You my heart
I give You my soul
I live for You alone
Every breath that I take
Every moment I'm awake
Lord have Your way in me
(Repeat Chorus)

Meaning & Inspiration

“I Give You My Heart” is a concise prayer of wholehearted worship and surrender. The opening gathers desire, affection, praise, and adoration into a single focus on God. Its chorus then extends that devotion beyond words: heart, soul, breath, and every waking moment are placed under God’s direction. The repeated petition for the Lord to have his way portrays worship as yielded living rather than a performance confined to singing.

The lyric closely reflects biblical commands to love God with the whole heart and soul. It also carries the language of daily discipleship, since each breath and moment belongs to a life devoted to God alone. Repetition gives the prayer a meditative quality, allowing its central commitment to remain clear and memorable. The song’s meaning rests in total consecration: inner affection, spoken praise, and ordinary life are brought together as one response of worship.
