You hear

I'm loving quite a few of Tricia's songs lately,
but this one in particular has been speaking to me.

From silent rooms and heavy hearts
From city streets where all is dark
Each lifted cry our sin and want
You hear, oh You hear

From burdens weighty with regret
And sorrows we can not forget
You turn our tears to holiness
When You hear, oh You hear

And the truth remains
That the Love who saves
Is the one who hears, oh You hear
And the power will be 
Not in those who speak but in Him who hears
Oh, You hear

We lower in the weak and lame
The blind are given sight again
And so we're bound no more by shame
Because You hear

And from the weight of mercy's cross
You whispered words that saved us all
So love could be the only song
You hear, oh You hear

And the truth remains
That the Love who saves
Is the one who hears, oh You hear
And the power will be 
Not in those who speak but in Him who hears
You hear

"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: 

that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us."

1 John 5:14

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray

and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, 

then I will hear from heaven, 

and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 

2 Chronicles 7:14
