Lord Help Me Hear

Speak Lord and let me hear

Give me a listening ear

That I may apprehend

The voice of my Lord, 

That Your word may it rend

My heart like a sword

Separate between the marrow and bone

Until all I perceive is You alone

Lord help me hear 

Lord help me fear

My heart will rejoice

When I hear your voice

I want to obey 

Every word that you say

So Lord help me hear

Make your voice clear

I would do your will

I would walk your way

Write your words on my heart 

Each and every day

I seek your word And I seek your will

My mind your thoughts you fill

Lord out of the chaos and out of the noise

Make a silent place in my heart to rejoice

That the way is obvious

As we go from dust to dust

In your Word Lord may I trust

When I hear your Word

Help me to hear 

And help me to fear

With humble attention

As you draw near

Make your pleasure clear

Lord help me hear
