"Lord, I Give You My Heart" by Michael W. Smith is more than just a song—it’s a declaration of total surrender. When we sing these words, we are offering God every part of our lives: our desires, decisions, and future. In a world that constantly pulls us in different directions, this song reminds us to centre our hearts on Him, trusting that His plans are far greater than our own.
Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take” (NLT). True surrender is not just about singing words but about daily choosing to let God lead our lives.
Let this song be your prayer. Give Him your heart again, knowing He will guide, shape, and fill it with His love and purpose.
