lyrics
When I hear you speak, I feel mountains move,
I hear angel's wings, and I see living proof
Of the miracle and the mystery
How amazing grace can touch our hearts and set us free,
When I hear you speak, I get the message clear,
Whenever two or more are gathered I know God is here
When you share your pain, only love remains,
Oh, when you speak your truth, I hear God in you
When you speak your truth, I hear God in you...
So here's to the bitter truth, here's to the tears we cried,
Here's to the wreckage of our past we could no longer hide,
Here's to the hands we hold on our darkest nights,
To every step that brings us closer to the light,
When I hear you speak, then I understand
How the broken place inside us can be healed again,
And after all the pain, only love remains,
Oh, when you speak your truth, I hear God in you...
I can't find my way alone,
Sometimes I feel so lost and far from home,
Won't you light a candle in the dark once more?
When I hear you speak, it brings me to my knees,
I feel Mother Mercy reaching out to comfort me,
And after all the shame, only love remains,
Oh when you speak your truth, I hear God in you,
When you speak your truth, I hear God in you,
Oh, come and speak your truth, I need to hear God in you...
