I Need You to Listen

I need you to listen
I need you to answer
I need you to listen
I need you to answer

O God, I need you to
I want to see your face
It is this love I have
It makes me search for you

I need you to listen
I need you to answer
I need you to listen
I need you to answer

Do not avoid my eyes
Or let me anger you
Do not toss me aside
O God, do not drop me

I need you to listen
I need you to answer
I need you to listen
I need you to answer

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

I need you to listen
I need you to answer
I need you to listen
I need you to answer

There are those who hate me
Do not leave me to them
They eat my life away
By lying under
Oath or twisting evidence

I need you to listen
I need you to answer
I need you to listen
I need you to answer

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!

I need you to listen
I need you to answer
I need you to listen
I need you to answer
