Well, I leave it to you to decide if it's a great song or not, but, here's one I wrote called "What I Tell My Heart."  -  http://www.charleswolff.com/DFUMC/WITH.mp3 - at the request of the band, I did write a second verse that I can post.  Forgive, if you have to, the overuse of MIDI sax & clarinet...

Another one of mine, "Wholeheartedly," http://www.charleswolff.com/DFUMC/WHOL.mp3

"Change My Heart O God" is probably too old for you, but it's a classic... "Open the Eyes of My..."

Sounds like a good excuse to do some youtubing, I'll let you know if I find anything else...

Purify My Heart (refiner's fire) by Brian Doerksen was the first song that came to mind.

Paul Baloche's Shaken has a line about where our treasure is there our hearts will be too, though the heart isn't the main focus of the song.

Results of a bit of youtubesurfing -

• This Beating Heart, by Matt Redman - if you like Philip Philips... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMWyPOdRyxw
• A Pure Heart - Passion - kind of jazzy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCYKRSKDDRc
• With a Thankful Heart - Don Moen - kinda MoR, not edgy at all, as you'd expect from a Don Moen song, but the more I listened, the more I liked it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC55gRAp0lI
• Heart Like Heaven - Hillsong - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E72qY86x-60
• Steady My Heart - Kari Jobe - I really liked this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9Xb8hVimU4
• Strength of My Heart - Sejoyma - this is obscure (1k views or so), and it's a capella, not quite sure how it would work turned into a band song, but something I liked about it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps6FVS8Qqtg
• Tell Your Heart to Beat Again - Danny Gokey (American Idol) - this could work as a "performance" song, not so much as a congregational song, but it's good - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azYK8I2uoog
• Keeper of My Heart - Kari Jobe - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoyE9A7zjko

Your musical tastes differ from mine, I'm sure, but these were some things I found that appealed to me...
