Do You Hear Me Lord ~ Arthur Hayes

 

VERSE 1 I watch the red lamp burn at night Still hoping for a holy sight This quiet chapel feels alive But I am struggling to survive This mercy I′m not ready for But still, I kneel upon this floor Your spirit lingers in the air Like incense rising in a prayer CHORUS Do You hear me, Lord, when the silence starts to burn? Can I feel You near when my thoughts begin to turn? I've been waiting, barely breathing, in the grace You used to fill If You know me like I know You, then I bow beneath Your will VERSE 2 The holy water feels like dew The pews remember passing through I walk the aisles we once knew well But stories only time can tell A part of me that I won′t let go Is holding to the seeds You sow Your spirit lingers in the air Like incense rising in a prayer CHORUS Do You hear me, Lord, when the silence starts to burn? Can I feel You near when my thoughts begin to turn? I've been waiting, barely breathing, in the grace You used to fill If You know me like I know You, then I bow beneath Your will VERSE 3 Maybe faith just learns to wait Outside the narrow Heaven's gate If You hold me through the night Then I will walk by faith, not sight CHORUS Do You hear me, Lord, when the silence starts to burn? Can I feel You near when my thoughts begin to turn? I′ve been waiting, barely breathing, in the grace You used to fill If You know me like I know You, then my heart is beating still
