Refrain: I need you to listen. I need you to answer. I need you to listen. I need you to answer.
Verse 1: O God, I need you to. I want to see your face. It is this love I have. It makes me search for you.
Verse 2: Do not avoid my eyes or let me anger you. Do not toss me aside. O God, do not drop me.
Verse 3: You are the only hope I have; father, mother, they can leave me orphaned, but your love must never. Lead me to you, O God, along the smoothest road.
Verse 4: There are those who hate me. Do not leave me to them. They eat my life away by lying under oath or twisting evidence.
Verse 5: I trust your love. I will see your beauty after death in your land of life. My love will wait for you. It will be strong waiting. O God, my love will wait! -------------------------
