There is nothing You hear clearer
Than the outcry and calling
Of those who to You draw nearer
Despite them falling and failing
If their hearts are pure and upright
And the hands they raise are clean
Their desires are precious in Your sight
For one-ness with You are what they mean
You are in the midst of them and theirs
For they long for the presence of Your holiness
And in their whispered and wailed prayers
They beg for the salvation of the lost and hopeless
Their intimacy with You surpasses understanding
For they’ve realized their need of You
To Your will they are always bending
For they know You will what is good and true
May I, O God, be one of those
Whose heart is in accord with Yours
Teach me, Almighty God of hosts,
To pray and open new doors
Show me how to surrender my all
To Your perfect plan and consuming grace
Let me, Father, submit to Your daily call
So that I may daily see Your face
May I not fear the words of others
For my focus is on Your healing
Open my eyes to brothers and sisters
Who are with me earnestly kneeling
