Heart and Soul Worship Song | Love the Lord With Everything
Heart and Soul Worship Song – Love the Lord With Everything by Malachi Ben-David
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with soul and mind and strength… Heart and soul, we surrender to Thee.”
Malachi Ben-David’s powerful “Heart and Soul” is a scripture-rooted CCM worship song built on the greatest commandment. It takes Jesus’ words as its foundation and moves into full-hearted surrender, obedience, and the truth that we love Him only because He first loved us.
This contemporary Christian worship song is written for congregational response — a call to love God with everything and hold nothing back.
The Story & Heart of “Heart and Soul”
The song opens where Christ said everything begins: the total claim of God on the whole person — heart, soul, mind, and strength. Immediately it answers how that love is shown: “If ye love Me, keep My words… My Father will love thee, and We’ll make Our stay.” Love is not a feeling the song works up; it is obedience, and the reward is God Himself coming to abide.
The chorus is the only fitting reply: “Heart and soul, we surrender to Thee.” The second verse returns to the Shema — the Lord our God is one — and welcomes the Father’s loving discipline as proof of His delight. The bridge names the foundation under it all: we love Him because He first loved us.

Why This Song Matters
“Heart and Soul” is a much-needed CCM worship song that refuses to leave the greatest commandment as theory. It turns the call to love God with everything into a sung act of surrender, and it roots that surrender in the prior love of God. This song is a powerful reminder that worship begins where Christ said it begins — with the whole person given to the One who first loved us.
