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.
