This is my heart's cry
I want to know the one who saved me and gave me life
This is my heart's cry to be so close to Him that all my life becomes
A testimony of my saviour's grace and love
This is my heart's cry

This is my heart's cry
much more than just a great desire--it's like a fire in me
I hear my heart cry each time I think about the cross where Jesus died
The cross should have been mine but His love broke through time
And heard my heart's cry--He heard my heart's cry

Now every other hope and dream is lost inside of this one thing
To know the one who died for me and live my life for Jesus Christ
Oh this is my heart's cry

So let my life become a testimony of my Saviour's grace and love
Oh, this is my heart's cry--to stand before the Father one day
And hear Him say well done--this is my heart's cry
