Shane & Shane perform Keith and Kristyn Getty's hymn 'Speak O Lord,' a prayerful song asking God to speak through His Word and transform believers. The lyrics focus on receiving Scripture, being shaped into Christ's likeness, and living in obedience and humility. The song emphasizes God's authority, the power of His truth, and the desire for His glory to fill the earth. It calls for faith to rise and for God's purposes to be fulfilled in His people, with a repeated plea for God to speak. The song is a worshipful meditation on Scripture's role in spiritual growth and the believer's dependence on God's grace and promises.

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
To receive the food of Your Holy Word
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness
That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory
Teach us, Lord, full obedience
Holy reverence, true humility
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity
Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority
Words of pow'r that can never fail?
Let their truth prevail over unbelief
Speak, O Lord
Won't You speak, O Lord?
Won't You speak, O Lord?
Won't You speak, O Lord?
Give us [?] to heal
Give us [?] to heal
Won't You speak, O Lord?
Oh, won't You speak, O Lord?
Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds
Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity
And by grace we'll stand on Your promises
And by faith we'll walk as You walk with us
Speak, O Lord, 'til Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory
And by grace we'll stand on Your promises
And by faith we'll walk as You walk with us
Speak, O Lord, 'til Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory
