New from Mountain People Worship: "My Heart Wants You (Live on a Dirt Floor)"
My Heart Wants You (Live on a Dirt Floor) by Mountain People Worship is a tender, soaring live recording that reimagines one of their most popular songs with fresh, Spirit-filled energy. Featuring the lovely soprano voice of Nicole Carrico, the song opens with a fingerpicked acoustic guitar as Nicole sings from a place of devoted longing: "I wake up in the dead of night with my heart calling yours, Jesus, Jesus." Nicole, the wife of primary songwriter Abel Carrico, brings a heart shaped by years of ministry. A mother of four, she has spent the past decade working with troubled youth and foster children, and she currently runs a barn that uses equine therapy to help such kids. She has also faithfully led worship for people battling addiction and life’s challenges, carrying a deep compassion that shines through every note she sings.
As the song unfolds, the simple, earnest chorus — "My heart wants you, my heart wants you" — becomes the center of gravity. Nicole's voice stretches into an angelic melisma on the word "you," creating a breathtaking melody of pure surrender. A banjo joins in during the second verse as the violin and cello weave their expressive lines through the arrangement. The bridge brings a dynamic lift as Nicole proclaims, "Even when I’m awake I’m dreaming, even in my silence I’m singing, Jesus, Jesus," and the gathered worshippers erupt in spontaneous praise while dual violins dance through an extended instrumental.
I wake up in the dead of night
With my heart calling yours
Jesus, Jesus
I lie wide awake in bed
With my heart beating out of my chest
Jesus, Jesus
My heart wants you
My heart wants you
The final movements of the song are full of beautiful abandon, with Nicole improvising higher and higher around the chorus as the drums build toward the ultimate declaration. The lyrics reflect a faith that holds fast through every season: "Even in my trials I'm praising, even through my fires I'm gazing, Jesus, Jesus." Nicole Carrico and Mountain People Worship invite listeners into a holy moment where quiet longing gives way to confident, joy-filled worship, demonstrating Appalachian warmth, orchestral beauty, and Spirit-led freedom.
