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. |

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. ’Till 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. |

Not sure who wrote the lyrics, but the melody is from an Elvis Presley song en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can't_Help_Falling_in_Love. Not sure it is the best thing to use secular melody for Christian songs. The verses are priceless, but they deserve a better melody, especially if it comes from the heart as it's title.

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.
