The noise of my day,
The depression that steals my voice.
The confusion that arrests my life,
So I cant even make a choice.
Life seems so loud,
Ive been too proud.
So Lord what do I do?
I just need a word from you.
Oh, I need a word.
Tell me which way to turn,
I need a word,
Tell me which was I should go,
I need a word,
To tell me just what to do.
Please send a word,
God I need to hear from you.
Drown out the noise,
Let me hear your voice,
I need a word from you.
Oooh, oh, I just got bad news,
Life just darkened my day.
My family is in need,
And I just cant seem to make a way, oh.
Life seems so loud,
Ive been too proud.
But im asking you now,
Lord, send a word from you.
I need a word.
Tell me which way to turn,
I need a word,
Tell me which was I should go,
I need a word,
Tell me what should I do, Lord.
I need a word,
I need a word from you.
Drown out the noise,
Let me hear your voice,
Oh Lord, I know need a word from you.
I hear you Lord, I hear you say..
Stand still and know that you are God
Stand still and believe you'll work it out
Stand still and see my victory walk right in
Cause with you, I will win.
I need a word.
Greater is he thats in me than he thats in the world
I need you word.
No weapon formed against me shall be able to prosper.
Drown out the noise,
Let me hear your voice,
I need a word..
From you!
