CHANGE MY HEART, LORD. by Jude Nnam — Lyrics
About CHANGE MY HEART, LORD.
"Change My Heart, Lord" is a gentle, reflective prayer of surrender, composed by Jude Nnam. Drawing on the biblical image of the potter and the clay, the song asks God to mold the singer’s heart, words, deeds, and voice. It is a deeply personal plea for spiritual renewal, moving from an inward desire for a clean heart to an outward commitment to speak truth and sing for the Lord.
In the choir loft, this piece is especially fitting for the Communion procession or as a meditation hymn. Its steady, moderate tempo and stacked verses allow the congregation to easily absorb the text, while the choral harmonies in the refrain build a sense of earnest petition. The soprano line lifts with the cry, "Lord take me and mould me!" before returning to the quiet acceptance of being clay in the Maker's hands.
Worshipers and choristers alike are drawn to the simplicity and sincerity of the lyrics. Sung during the penitential season of Lent or as a quiet moment of dedication during Ordinary Time, the song offers a peaceful space for the church to reflect on transformation and the desire to become more like Christ.
