Meaning & Inspiration
Lord I Give My Heart - This Is My Desire is a short song of consecration. The verse states a single desire, to honor God with all the heart, and links worship to everything the singer has: all that is within is given as praise, and all that the singer adores is found in Him.
The chorus makes the offering explicit: the singer gives the heart and soul, lives for the Lord alone and asks Him to have His way with every breath and every waking moment. The wording reflects Romans 12:1, Deuteronomy 6:5 and Psalm 86:11, passages that call for total devotion and an undivided heart. Because the lines are plain and the phrases repeat, the song suits quiet congregational worship and personal prayer, with surrender and wholehearted love as its steady theme. Its structure, a single verse followed by a chorus, leaves space for reflection rather than narrative.
