Speak - The Waiting

From the whisper of the lover to the lion’s roar

The command of the commander upon the field of war

The instruction of the father, the laughter of the friend

I’ve heard every utterance and I can’t comprehend

Just why I can’t decide, I can’t make a choice

Is it Your word that I’m in love with

Or the sound of Your voice?

So speak, speak to me

Oh speak, speak to me

I’m as quiet as I can be

So speak, speak to me

From the Spirit on the water to the splitting of the sea

The beauty of Your form upon a raging Galilee

The cloud that filled the temple, the fire on desert sand

I’ve seen every step and still don’t understand

Why I can’t render a decision, I can’t seem to choose

Is it Your journey I’m in love with

Or just the way You move?

Whoa, speak, speak to me

Oh speak, speak to me

I’m as quiet as I can be

So speak, speak to me

I love the way You speak

In what You say and what You do

Give me ears so I can hear You

I need to hear You

From the burning of the bush that refused to be consumed

To the Spirit on a shepherd boy that ran through every tune

The terror of the King who carries vengeance in His hand

The love of the Messiah dying quiet as a lamb

Whoa, speak, speak to me

Oh speak, speak to me

I’m as quiet as I can be

So speak, speak to me
