Speechless

Originally recorded as 'Here I Am' in 2003 on the Homesick recording, this song came out of an experience I had in prayer a few years earlier. As I was praying, late at night just before bedtime, I sensed the Lord in front of me, facing me. 'Be quiet' were the words i heard inside my head, (not an audible voice), and I was filled with a sense of awe which has kept me quiet before Him ever since. I wrestle with every form of worship and communication with God to this day. I am fully confident in His goodness, but harbour a great sense of frustration over my inept prayers, worship, and faith.

SPEECHLESS

Your eyes, speak the truth
Your mouth, beckons me
Your hands, have parted every sea
Water and Passion, wash over me

Here we are Lord
You and me
Here we are Lord
And I can’t speak

Touch my eyes, that I may see
Heal my ears, ‘cuz I long to hear
The strong jealous voice - I hold so dear
Voice of my Lover, calling me

Where You are, I long to be
When You move, I'll be on my feet
Touch my mouth, for I am unclean
Touch my hip Lord, I'll never leave

Here we are Lord
You and me
Here we are Lord
Why can’t I speak
