From my heart comes a melody
Of the One who gave His life for me.
How can I turn away from Thee;
Lord, I have seen Thy changeless love for me.
Enjoyment so full!
Life’s reality!
That’s what You’re to me:
Lord, You have won my heart!
Take my heart, take my whole life too;
Lord, I can’t help giving myself to You.
Of the One who gave His life for me.
How can I turn away from Thee;
Lord, I have seen Thy changeless love for me.
Enjoyment so full!
Life’s reality!
That’s what You’re to me:
Lord, You have won my heart!
Take my heart, take my whole life too;
Lord, I can’t help giving myself to You.

From the day that I first met You.
How could I help falling in love with You?
Emptiness turned life’s pleasures blue;
No earthly love ever could see me through.
’Til I turned one day
Opened up my heart,
Let Your love flow in
And fill my deepest part.
Now I know, Lord, You’re one with me;
And I can’t help giving myself to Thee.
Lord, I can’t help giving myself to Thee.
How could I help falling in love with You?
Emptiness turned life’s pleasures blue;
No earthly love ever could see me through.
’Til I turned one day
Opened up my heart,
Let Your love flow in
And fill my deepest part.
Now I know, Lord, You’re one with me;
And I can’t help giving myself to Thee.
Lord, I can’t help giving myself to Thee.

Amen, saints. This hymn is a precious gem of an experience of consecration - giving one's own life - to the Lord. How can we do this? "Enjoyment so full! Life's reality! That's what you are to me; Lord, You have won my heart!" We did nothing - our God won our hearts and now we can't help but give ourselves to Him.
One suggestion for the sake of clarity is to change "Lord, I can't help giving myself to You" to "Lord, I can't help but give myself to You" and similarly on other lines. This will help give a clear translation and also help convey the feeling of a present desire for consecration.

Isn't this hymn sound so pretty? 'From my heart, comes a melody, From the one who gave his life for me...' Aren't those words so sweet? I gave myself to the Lord when I was a little girl. I am now so thankful I did! I'm also so thankful God sent his only son to take away our sins!

Ever since I've discovered this song on your site last night, 'I can't help' singing continuously for hours and hours. it is true confession of my love for Him. My dearest, precious Lord will continue our journey through eternity. Many things are unknown in my life right now but Him being with me, I am totally content and happy. My Lord and Savior, I love You!!!

"Lord, I can't help giving myself to Thee." May His love constrain us till the day we see Him in His parousia. Lord, bless us supremely to love You all the days of our lives. Come, Lord Jesus.

When I first heard this song through a brother the only thing that remained on me at that time was these words "falling in love with You." We have the experience deep within that the Lord is so lovable. We are like Rebecca who fall in love with Isaac though she only saw the slave and did not see him personally for the first time. We cannot see the Lord yet we fall in love with Him because His love constrains us to love Him. Because of this we cannot help but to give our whole heart to love Him.
