Verse 1
Here I stand
Forever in Your Mighty Hand
Living with Your promise
Written on my heart

I am Yours
Surrendered wholly to You
You set me in Your family
Calling me Your own
Chorus
Now I, I belong to You
All I need Your Spirit
Your Word, Your Truth
Hear my cry, my deep desire
To know You more
In Your Name
I will lift my hands to the King
This anthem of praise I bring
Heaven knows, I long to love You
With all I am, I belong to You
(Repeat verse 1)

In Your Name
I will lift my hands to the King
This anthem of praise I bring
Heaven knows, I long to love You
With all I am, I belong to You

Meaning & Inspiration
I Belong to You centers on surrender, belonging, and the desire to know God more fully. Its opening lines place the singer securely in Gods hand, with divine promise written on the heart. The movement from personal confession to an anthem of praise gives the song a clear devotional focus: identity is received through belonging to God, while worship becomes the response. References to the Spirit, the Word, and truth keep that longing anchored in Gods self-revelation rather than in emotion alone.
The image of being welcomed into Gods family closely reflects the New Testament language of adoption. The repeated lifting of hands also presents praise as an embodied act of allegiance to the King. Throughout the lyric, surrender is not portrayed as loss, but as the ground of security, love, and continuing spiritual desire. The closing declaration gathers those themes into a concise confession of wholehearted devotion.
