Corey Voss + Madison Street Worship - We Know There's More Lyrics
Lyrics
It’s Your heart we’re after
Not just Your hand that we want
It’s Your heart we’re after
Not just Your blessing we seek
More, we know there’s more
We ask for more
There’s nothing else
Our hearts were made for
More, we need You more
We want You Lord
Come satisfy our thirst
Oooh For there is more
It’s Your Holy Presence
Not just the feelings we want
It’s Your Holy Presence
Not just Your signs that we seek
More, we know there’s more
We ask for more
There’s nothing else
Our hearts were made for
More, we need You more
We want You Lord
Come satisfy our thirst
Oooh For there is more
You are all we want
You are all we crave
You are all we need
You are all we chase
Nothing in this world could
Ever satisfy, Jesus
You’re the cup that won’t run dry

Meaning & Inspiration
Corey Voss + Madison Street Worship delivered a profound spiritual anthem with "We Know There's More," released on February 8, 2019, as part of their live album, *Songs of the House*. This track is far more than just a melody; it’s a sincere declaration of an unwavering pursuit of God Himself, moving beyond superficial encounters or transactional faith. The song’s core message emerges from a deep-seated conviction that the human spirit craves something infinitely more substantial than what the world, or even just God's blessings, can provide. It's an invitation to a relationship rooted in intimate knowledge and presence rather than merely the benefits derived from it.
The lyrical journey begins by articulating a desire for God's heart, not just His hand or His blessings. This distinction is crucial, signaling a mature spiritual understanding. Many seek God for what He can do, for the solutions He can offer, or the provisions He can supply. However, the song redirects this focus, urging us to pursue the Giver above the gifts. This resonates powerfully with Scripture, which consistently calls us to seek God’s face rather than just His favor. Just as Psalm 27:8 declares, "My heart says of you, 'Seek his face!' Your face, Lord, I will seek," the song underscores a similar yearning for divine intimacy over material gain. This quest is foundational to a faith that trusts God’s character and love more than His ability to meet immediate needs, echoing Matthew 6:33’s call to "seek first his kingdom and his righteousness."
The chorus, with its compelling refrain, "More, we know there’s more," acts as a spiritual gut-check, reminding us of the inherent longing within every person that only God can truly satisfy. It speaks to a divinely imprinted purpose for which our hearts were created, a void that worldly achievements, possessions, or fleeting pleasures can never fill. This profound thirst for something beyond the tangible is a timeless human experience, beautifully captured in Psalm 42:1-2, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God." The plea, "Come satisfy our thirst," isn't merely a request for comfort but a recognition of Christ as the sole source of "living water" promised in John 4:13-14, quenching a spiritual drought that no other well can alleviate.
Further developing this pursuit, the song shifts its focus to God's Holy Presence, distinguishing it from transient feelings or miraculous signs. In an age where spiritual experiences can sometimes be prioritized over sustained communion, this emphasis is incredibly vital. It cautions against chasing emotional highs or dramatic manifestations, instead anchoring faith in the steadfast reality of God's active Presence. While feelings and signs can certainly be part of the spiritual journey, they are not the destination. The true goal is the Giver of the experience, His indwelling Spirit, and His abiding presence, as Moses understood when he declared in Exodus 33:15, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here." This pursuit aligns with a faith that values depth over superficiality, recognizing that true joy and life are found in His presence (Psalm 16:11), not just in the temporary excitement of a sign or wonder (1 Corinthians 1:22).
The bridge culminates in a powerful declaration of God’s absolute supremacy as the ultimate satisfier of the soul. Asserting, "You are all we want, You are all we crave, You are all we need, You are all we chase," the lyrics leave no room for compromise or divided loyalties. This segment mirrors the single-minded devotion advocated in Psalm 73:25, "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you." The affirmation that "Nothing in this world could ever satisfy, Jesus, You’re the cup that won’t run dry" is a magnificent testament to Christ's sufficiency. It portrays Him not just as a source, but *the* inexhaustible source of spiritual nourishment and contentment, echoing Jesus' own words in John 6:35, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst." This unwavering focus challenges every individual to examine their own pursuits and recognize that true satisfaction is found only in turning completely towards Him, setting affections on things above rather than earthly pursuits, as Colossians 3:1-2 instructs. "We Know There's More" is a powerful invitation to a deeper walk with God, stirring the spirit to hunger for His presence and heart above all else, and confirming that in Him alone do we find true and lasting fulfillment.
