Speak To Me
Speak to me of gentle words that cause my heart to soar
tell me things that thrill my soul
please tell me more and more
words that flatter
words that charm
what's pleasing to my ear
tell me that I'm doing fine
that god is ever near.
Speak to me of mystic words that titillates my soul
of visions, dreams and lofty things
the excitement makes me feel whole
experiences and prophecies, wonders and signs
I know it must be fate
that god would send these things my way
what's coming next
I can't wait.
Speak to me affirming words
what's pleasing in my sight
I've done it this way for many years and I know I'm right
I go to church and pay my tithes
I'm a Christian
I know the way
a pat on the back
a big bear hug
speak of love
that's what you should say.
Speak to me complimentary words
I know that I am fine
don't open this door
don't look inside
you do your thing
I'll do mine
if you say the words just like I say
we'll be in unity
we're one in the spirit
one in the lord
god's still on the throne
don't you agree?
Speak to me, hey wait a minute
who do you think you are
now you've gone and made me mad
you have gone too far
who are you to tell me
the things that God has said
no one tells me what to do
I am spirit led.
You keep your opinions to yourself
you think you are holier than thou
now I am not talking to you
at my own altar I will bow
who are you to tell me things
who are you to judge
for I know god as well as you
from this I will not budge.
For my god says that I'm okay
after all, see the works that I do
now you say I don't line up
am I to listen to you
you use the bible
you say it's Truth
but who are you to speak
I know my god
I have my truth
and that is what I'll seek.
So speak to me of gentle words that cause my heart to soar
tell me things that thrill my soul
or you I will ignore
words that flatter
words that charm
it's pleasing to my ear
you keep you God to yourself
my god is ever near.
(PCJ 2005)
