Speak Lord

from CD: Gotta Keep Movin'

Verse 1:
Here I am again on unsure ground,
made a move once before
on my own, it was wrong, (I fell down).

Lord, You know how hard it was
when you picked me up,
and I learned to be still,
and wait on Your word.

Chorus 1:
Lord, please bestow on me
a word from Thee,
Lord, speak to me.

Lord, please bestow on me
a word from Thee,
Lord, won't You please speak to me.

Verse 2:
With an anxious heart for the finish line,
tryin' to fight a battle,
you know it's not yours, (it's the Lord's).

In those times I'm reminded
that I'm on the winning side,
if You speak, surely victory is mine.

Chorus 2:
Lord, please bestow on me
a word from Thee,
Lord, speak to me.

Lord, please bestow on me
a word from Thee,
Lord, won't You please speak.

Bridge:
(Would you speak a word),
(a word of peace) over me,
(I know) things will change;

(Lord, speak...)
Lord, won't You please,
Lord, won't You please speak.

Chorus 3:
Lord, please bestow on me
a word from Thee,
Lord, won't You please.

Vamp 1:
Lord, I wanna hear it,

Lord, I wanna hear it,
Lord, I wanna hear
a word from You, Lord.

Oh, speak Lord,
speak Lord, speak Lord.

Vamp 2:
Speak Lord,
speak Lord,
speak Lord.

Oh, speak Lord,
speak Lord,
speak Lord.
