Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And lift my eyes to see
Incline my ear to You
Your voice I long to hear
Jesus here I stand
Reaching out my hands
Waiting for Your voice
Jesus I want to hear Your voice
Jesus I want to know You more
Speak to me Lord
Speak to me Lord
Speak to me Lord
I want to hear Your voice
My heart cries out
My soul cries out
My heart cries out for You
My heart cries out
My soul cries out for more
My heart cries out for You
The song "Speak To Me Lord" by Planetshakers is a beautiful representation of the devotion and yearning for a connection with God. It starts with the opening verse where the singer declares that they look upon God with their eyes and incline their ears to hear His voice. This portrays the eagerness to hear from God and listen to His spirit. The following verses emphasize the need for Jesus in the singer's life as they stand before Him with reaching hands, waiting for His voice to guide and lead them in the right direction.
The chorus of the song repeats the desire of the singer to hear from God, to know Him more and to understand His will for their life. The use of repetition in the chorus adds to the worshipful nature of the song, and the plea for guidance becomes even more emphatic as the song progresses. The bridge serves as a plea and a cry for more of God's presence and love, reiterating the heart-cry of the singer in search of a deeper intimacy with God. The song closes with a final chorus, expressing a renewed and reinvigorated sense of purpose, and a reaffirmation of the singer's devotion to God.
