"I Give You My Heart" (sometimes called "Lord, I Give You My Heart" or "This is My Desire") is a 1995 song by Reuben Morgan, who wrote both the music and the lyrics.[1] The lyrics are about giving God the entirety of oneself.[2] The song is widely used in congregational singing,[3] particularly within evangelicalism.[4] "I Give You My Heart" is a devotional song[5] and is part of the contemporary worship music genre.[6] The song is also a slow soft rock ballad.[7]

Among Christian songs, "I Give You My Heart" is one of the most frequently recorded.[8] The song appeared on Hillsong Music Australia's compilation album Ultimate Worship.[9] Briana Scott released a cover version of the song on her debut album While I'm Here in 2005.[10]
