I Give You My Heart - Hillsong Worship & Delirious?
Meaning & Inspiration
"I Give You My Heart," a powerful collaboration between Darlene Zschech and Delirious?, released on December 26, 2018, offers a profound and unwavering declaration of devotion. At its core, the song is a surrender, a complete offering of one's entire being to God, echoing the scriptural call for unreserved love and service. The message resonates deeply with passages like Romans 12:1, which implores believers to present their bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. This isn't a superficial offering, but a holistic commitment of one's heart, mind, soul, and strength, mirroring the Great Commandment found in Matthew 22:37. The lyrics articulate a desire to live for God's glory, reflecting the Apostle Paul's sentiment in 1 Corinthians 10:31, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." The song encourages a posture of humility and dependence, acknowledging that true strength and purpose are found in yielding to divine will, a concept central to Christ's own prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, "Yet not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42). Furthermore, the act of giving one's heart signifies an intentional redirection of affections and desires towards the Creator, aligning with the wisdom of Proverbs 23:26, "My son, give me your heart and let your eyes delight in my ways." This musical offering serves as a potent reminder of the transformative power of a surrendered life, an invitation to lay down our own ambitions and embrace the divine purpose woven into our existence, ultimately finding true fulfillment in devotion.
