Lyrics
You've written what You want from me in stone
A refection of Your character alone
So I try to keep Your laws without regret
But I'm easily distracted and forget
So write them on my heart
Seal them in my mind
The beauty of Your law and grace combined
Remind me just how lovely Your commandments are
And write them on the tablet of my heart
There ‘s only one desire inside of me
It's to be everything You created me to be
And I know the only way that I can grow
It's for You to come inside and take control
So write them on my heart
Seal them in my mind
The beauty of Your law and grace combined
Remind me just how lovely Your commandments are
And write them on the tablets of my heart
Your law reflects Your goodness
The cross reveals Your grace
Love is the motivation behind your perfect ways
So write them on my heart
Seal them in my mind
The beauty of Your law and grace combined
Remind me just how lovely Your commandments are
And write them on the tablets of my heart
So write them on my heart
Engrave them in my mind
The beauty of Your law and grace combined
Remind me just how lovely Your commandments are
And write them on the tablets of my heart
Remind me just how lovely Your commandments are
And write them on the tablets of my heart.

Meaning & Inspiration
“Write Them On My Heart” frames obedience as an inward work of grace rather than a merely external effort. The opening contrast between commandments written in stone and a distracted human memory leads naturally to the central prayer: that God would inscribe his law upon the heart and mind. The chorus holds law and grace together, presenting the commandments as an expression of divine beauty rather than a burden pursued for its own sake.\n\nA later verse turns from self-discipline toward surrender, acknowledging that spiritual growth depends on God taking control within. The bridge then connects the goodness reflected in the law with the grace revealed at the cross, naming love as the motive behind the ways of God. This theme closely echoes the biblical promise of a covenant in which divine instruction is written on the heart. The song is therefore a prayer for transformed desire, faithful memory, and a life whose obedience grows from grace and love.
