Lord speak to me that I may hear
Some message from you, plain and clear
Strength, comfort or encouragement
Of Christ your Son who you have sent
Some word to evangel also
That others hear you, and too know
Your message of salvation sure
Not spoiled by sin, but whole and pure
Word to sustain, to ease our pain
To heal, restore, forgive again
Words planted now in hearts refined
By grace, and transformed be our mind
To think on you, focus, align
Here nothing of you dark, malign
But presence comforting, you near
May we worship with godly fear
So may seed of your word now fall
Into our hearts, we hear your call
O may it fall in soil found good
For we pray and desire it would
Though there different responses be
Seed falls on various grounds, see
Whether on path or rocks or thorns
Or on good soil, for harvest morns
Those morns, those fruitful days of when
Seeds sown do produce growth, and then
Comes pruning, but purpose is for
Lives to glorify God e\'en more
