VERSE 1
You love with no reservations
You’re not looking for perfection
There’s no need in me pretending

You deserve my full attention
Nothing less than my devotion
Speak to me and I will listen

You can have my heart
Oh
You can have my heart
You can have my heart

Be the Lord of my emotions
Set me free from selfish motives
Search me til there’s nothing hidden
I’ll give you everything
I’ll give you everything

Oh
You can have my heart
You can have my heart

You got it, You got it
If you want my heart, You got it

Meaning & Inspiration
Maverick City Music's "Have My Heart," featuring Chandler Moore, released on April 17, 2020, as part of their *Maverick City Music, Vol. 3: Pt. 1* project, stands as a profound declaration of surrendered worship. At its core, the song is an earnest plea for complete devotion to God, a yearning to align one's entire being with His will. The central message echoes the scriptural imperative to love God with all that we are. As Jesus himself declared in Mark 12:30, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." This anthem captures that essence, articulating a desire to present ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, a concept articulated by Paul in Romans 12:1. The lyrics convey a deep understanding that true faith isn't just about outward actions, but an inward transformation, a willingness to yield our desires, our plans, and our very identities to the One who has loved us first.
The song unpacks this theme through a passionate offering of personal surrender. It’s a recognition that our lives are not our own, but have been bought with a price, as 1 Corinthians 6:20 reminds us: “for you have been bought with a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” "Have My Heart" becomes a prayer for God to take residence within, to mold and shape our affections and thoughts according to His perfect design. This resonates with the Psalmist's cry in Psalm 51:10, "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me," demonstrating a profound desire for God's pervasive influence. The emphasis is on a holistic surrender, encompassing not just the grand gestures, but the quiet moments of our daily existence. It's an invitation for God to orchestrate our lives, to lead our steps, and to fill every corner of our being with His presence, a reflection of the trust found in Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Ultimately, "Have My Heart" is a powerful expression of longing for a life lived in complete dependence and adoration of God, a beautiful testament to the transformative power of yielding our all to Him.
