I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU
©1999 Mark P. Hirschhorn
from the Ascending Music CD ‘The Wonder Of It All’
'Tis a strange and quiet time, and I just can't seem to find
How to make Your Rhymes come shining through
In this dark and crystal sphere only one thing now is clear
You know I'd like to hear from you
Good and bad are past and gone, yesterday a distant song
Still I long to carry on and do
Anything that You require - will you tell me Your desire?
You know I'd like to hear from You
BRIDGE:
And all that I have ever been, like dust, has vanished in the wind
That comes before Your cleansing rain
It flows to set my spirit free with all that I can ever be
As only what is Yours remains
Nothing now I understand, all my words have lost command
Now my life is in Your hands, it's true
Will you take it up today? Do you hear the words I pray?
You know I'd like to hear from you
BRIDGE
Can I learn to be content with the peace that You have sent?
Can I find Your Purity renewed?
Sending forth Your gentle guide, strong and sure from deep inside
You know I'd like to hear - you know I need to hear
You know I'd like to hear from you
