Starfield - Cry In My Heart Lyrics
Lyrics
Cry in my Heart
There's a cry in my heart
For Your glory to fall
For Your presence to fill up my senses
There's a yearning again
A thirst for discipline
A hunger for things that are deeper
Could You take me beyond?
Could You carry me through?
If I open my heart?
Could I go there with You?
(For I've been here before)
(Yet I know there's still more)
(Oh Lord I need to know You)
For what do I have
if I don't have you Jesus?
What in this life
could mean anymore?
You are my rock
You are my glory
You are the lifter
of my head

Cry In My Heart
Meaning & Inspiration
Starfield's 2004 self-titled album presents a powerful expression of spiritual longing in the track "Cry In My Heart." This song dives deep into the raw desire for a more profound connection with the divine, moving beyond superficial spiritual experiences. The lyrics articulate a yearning for God's glory to manifest tangibly, for His presence to saturate every aspect of one's being, and for a renewed commitment to spiritual discipline and deeper truths. It’s not just a fleeting wish; it's a persistent hunger and thirst for righteousness, echoing the Beatitudes where Jesus declares, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled" (Matthew 5:6). The song's central question, "Could You take me beyond? Could You carry me through? If I open my heart? Could I go there with You?" speaks to the surrender required for spiritual growth, a willingness to be led and transformed by God's power. This resonates with passages like Proverbs 3:5-6, which encourages trusting in the Lord with all our heart and not leaning on our own understanding, acknowledging that He will make our paths straight. The repetition of the phrase, "(For I've been here before) (Yet I know there's still more) (Oh Lord I need to know You)," highlights a seasoned faith that, while having experienced God's touch, recognizes the inexhaustible depths of His character and the ongoing journey of knowing Him more intimately. This pursuit of deeper knowledge is reminiscent of Paul's prayer in Philippians 3:10: "I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings, becoming like him in his death." Ultimately, the song strips away all worldly securities, posing the fundamental question of value: "For what do I have if I don't have you Jesus?" This rhetorical question underscores the absolute centrality of Christ in the believer's life, aligning with the Apostle Paul's declaration in 1 Corinthians 2:2, where he resolved to know nothing among the Corinthians "except Jesus Christ, and him crucified." The song beautifully illustrates that without Him, life's pursuits lose their ultimate meaning and significance. "You are my rock, You are my glory, You are the lifter of my head" are declarations of Jesus' steadfastness, His divine honor, and His power to restore hope and dignity, mirroring the Psalms' consistent portrayal of God as a source of refuge and strength (Psalm 18:2). "Cry In My Heart" is a sincere anthem for anyone seeking an authentic and ever-deepening walk with God, a testament to the enduring truth that true fulfillment is found solely in Him.
