Lyrics
Be it unto me
According to your Word
According to your promises
I can stand secure
Carve upon my heart
The truth that sets me free
According to your Word O Lord
Be it unto me
You promised your blood will deliver
Lord, we believe it's true
You promised us joy like a river
Lord we receive it from you
These things you have spoken
And you're bringing to pass
This world's disappearing
But your word will last
Be it unto me
According to your Word
According to your promises
I can stand secure
Carve upon my heart
The truth that sets me free
According to your Word O Lord
Be it unto me
You promised to carry our sorrows
Lord, we believe it's true
You promised unending tomorrows
Lord we receive them from you
You'll be our Provider
In Your word it's revealed
By the strifes that you bore
Lord We have been healed
Be it unto me
According to your Word
According to your promises
I can stand secure
Carve upon my heart
The truth that sets me free
According to your Word O Lord
Be it unto me

Meaning & Inspiration
“Be Unto Me” is a prayer of consent to God’s word and a declaration of trust in divine promises. Its central phrase echoes Mary’s willing response to the angel, yet the song broadens that posture into daily confidence. The singer asks for truth to be carved upon the heart, grounding security not in changing circumstances but in a word believed to endure even as the world passes away.
The verses gather promises of deliverance, joy, comfort, provision, and healing, then answer each with belief and reception. This pattern makes the lyric both petition and confession: God has spoken, and faith responds by asking that those words be fulfilled. References to truth bringing freedom and wounds bringing healing closely echo biblical language, while “joy like a river” conveys abundance and peace. The song’s repeated refrain keeps its emphasis on surrender, trust, and a life ordered according to what God has said.
