Lyrics
Verse 1
Here are my hands, offered to you
Here are my eyes
Help me see as You do
Chorus
And here is my heart
I give it to you
Please take it and break it
And make it anew
I've nothing to offer
That You have not given
And this gladly I proffer
'Till Jesus is risen in me
You gave me life, now take my life
Now take my life and live yours through me
I surrender, I surrender
Verse 2
You are my joy, words cant describe
Heaven to me
You're my very life

Meaning & Inspiration
“Here Is My Heart” is a prayer of surrender expressed through the offering of hands, eyes, heart, and life. The singer asks for sight shaped by God, a heart remade by him, and a life through which Christ may live. Each request acknowledges that every gift already comes from God, leaving no ground for pride or self-sufficiency. Joy and life are found in Christ, while devotion takes the form of yielding every part of the person to him.
The chorus places transformation beside sacrifice: the offered heart is not merely presented but opened to being broken and made new. That language closely reflects the biblical call to offer the whole self to God and Paul’s description of Christ living in the believer. The repeated confession of surrender gives the song the character of a personal prayer. Its emphasis rests on dependence, renewal, and a willing response to the life God has given.
