Lyrics
Speak To Me
Patricia W. Felker
Verse 1:
Let me hear Your voice in the quietness
Where the only noise is my restlessness
When I?m all alone
Meet me where You dwell
I need You now
I need You now
Verse 2:
Let me hear Your voice over crashing waves
When I have no choice but to hope and pray
In the churning sea
Walk this way to me
I need You here with me now?.
Chorus: Speak to me
Penetrate my soul
Calm these waters with a word
Take control
Be the voice to call my name
Through the pouring rain
Speak to me
Speak to me
Speak to me
Verse 3:
Let me hear Your voice
Amid life?s vain pursuits
Those that steal my joy
Sorry substitutes
Take my clay and stone
Build a home You?ll fill
Share ev?ry thought if You will??
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
I listen for Your voice in a baby?s sigh
I listen for the sound of heaven?s Glory
I listen for Your presence in a tear-filled eye
Come let me know Your love won?t let go
(Repeat Chorus)
