JJ Heller's song 'What Love Really Means' is a tender prayer expressing a deep longing for God's presence and protection. The lyrics depict a childlike trust, asking God to speak her name, hold her above the clouds, and cleanse her spirit. She seeks refuge in His shadow, desires to live as His own, and pleads for Him to quiet the storms of life. The song conveys a yearning to be close to God, to feel His embrace, and to have all fears washed away. It beautifully illustrates the intimate, personal love of God and the peace found in surrendering to Him.

Speak my name
Call me daughter one more time
Speak my name
Do you hear me when I cry?
In the rain
Hold me up above the clouds
Clean the stain
That my spirit leaves behind
I want to hide in your shadow
I want to live like I am yours
Oh won't you please come quickly
Quiet the storm
Are you close
Could I touch you if I tried
Do you know
How I long to be near you
Safely asleep in your arms
Now that I'm here hold me until
All of my fears are washed away
