The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir - I'll Give Him My Heart Lyrics

The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir’s song frames devotion through a simple Christmas question: what gift is worthy of Christ the King? The soloist considers the offerings associated with the nativity story—a shepherd’s lamb and a wise man’s gift—before settling on a personal answer. Material wealth is not the measure of the offering; the whole heart is presented as the fitting gift.

As the choir enters, the private confession expands into a communal invitation to bow before Jesus. The repeated response emphasizes willing surrender rather than outward display. That emphasis aligns with biblical language about presenting the whole self to God and loving God with an undivided heart. The song also recalls the wise men, who bowed before the child Jesus and opened their treasures. By setting those nativity images beside the recurring promise to give the heart, the lyric connects Christmas worship with lasting allegiance. Reverence begins at the manger, but the offered gift is a life centered on Christ.
