Song Meaning
A repeated plea for divine speech drives this worship song, built around the image of a voice that calms a fearful heart and a set of "red letters" whose love pours out from scars. The singer finds clarity only in a posture of kneeling, where the character of God becomes visible and hope appears as light breaking into darkness. The chorus keeps returning to the same request — to hear that voice loud and clear, to know that God is near — and the willingness to listen to anything at all suggests a surrender rather than a demand. Later verses widen the setting to wind and rain, night and day, so that the request for nearness follows the singer into every condition, including seasons of weak faith. Words are pictured falling softly and resting on the ear, and the cry from darkness is met with an appearing. The song holds together confession of fear, physical humility, and confidence that God answers, ending not in abstraction but in the specific hope of being heard.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
There is a voice that speaks.
There is a voice that speaks to my fearful heart,
it tells me you're not far.
It's in the words I read.
In the words I read I see the red letters
are love pouring from your scars.
Speak to me! Speak to me! Speak to me!
I want to hear you loud & clear.
You can say anything, I’m listening.
I just want to know that you are near.
I want to hear you loud & clear.
It's only on my knees.
Only on my knees I see just who you are.
I see your fearless heart.
Now there is hope I see.
Now there is hope I see a light in the dark!
This is where life starts.
I'll be silent, I'll be still.
Just speak to me.
You are the only one I need to hear.
Speak to me! Speak to me! Speak to me!
I want to hear you loud & clear.
You can say anything, I’m listening.
I just want to know that you are near.
I want to hear you loud & clear.
Speak to me in the wind & the rain.
When I call out your name I want to feel you here.
Speak to me in the night & the day.
When I’m weak in my faith I want to know you're near.
Words fall softly from your lips & rest upon my ears.
In the darkness I cry out & you appear.
Speak to me! Speak to me! Speak to me!
I want to hear you loud & clear.
You can say anything, I’m listening.
I just want to know that you are near.
I want to hear you loud & clear.
Speak to me in the wind & the rain.
When I call out your name I want to feel you here.
Speak to me in the night & the day.
When I’m weak in my faith I want to know you're near.
