Song Meaning
From the opening line, this song places the listener in a posture of awe before a God whose presence transcends ordinary reality. The lyrics capture the moment when words fail and the only fitting response is a cry of 'Holy,' a declaration that shifts something deep within. There's a vivid prophetic image of a coal touching the lips, drawing on Isaiah's vision, which signifies purification and a renewed mind. The song acknowledges God's enduring mercy and faithfulness, and in light of that, the singer offers everything—surrendering all that is untrue within. The repeated refrain emphasizes a transformative encounter, one that leaves the worshipper forever changed. It's a worship song that moves from awe to confession to complete offering, culminating in a life lived for God's glory.

Standing here in the presence
Of something more that merely real
There are no words to describe you
Or explain the way I feel
As you speak I find healing for my soul
And your touch alone can make me whole.
And my heart cries Holy
And my spirit feels a change
As my heart cries Holy
I will never be the same
Your mercies toward me last forever
Your faithfulness is true
And as you touch the coal to my lips
My mind is made brand new
I could never repay all that you've done
So use my life to the glory of your Son
And my heart cries Holy
And my spirit feels a change
As my heart cries Holy
I will never be the same
Everything inside of me
Everything untrue
Oh, Lord I surrender
All of it to You
Yeah, Yeah
And my heart cries Holy
And my spirit feels a change
As my heart cries Holy
I will never be the same
