A heart full of hearing

Give us a heart full of hearing

Fill the eyes of our hearts with new sight

Let us apprehend the unseen way

And encounter your word by your light.

Fill us with hearts full of singing

And our mouths will give voice to your praise

May the sacrifice we are bringing

Be worthy of your worthy ways

May your presence and your word fill

Our lives with your word and we will go and tell

Not just in our minds but deeper still

Calling from that secret place where you dwell

Let us have the ears to listen and hear

To acknowledge the truth and respond in accord

And Lord let us hear your voice loud and clear

Let us heed the word of the Lord!

Give us a heart full of hearing

Fill the eyes of our hearts with new sight

Let us apprehend the unseen way

And encounter your word by your light.

Fill us with hearts full of singing

And our mouths will give voice to your praise

May the sacrifice we are bringing

Be worthy of your worthy ways
