[Verse 1:]
Here I am again on unsure ground,
Made a move once before
On my own, it was wrong, (I fell down).
Lord, You know how hard it was
When you picked me up,
And I learned to be still,
And wait on Your word.
[Chorus 1:]
Lord, please bestow on me
A word from Thee,
Lord, speak to me.
Lord, please bestow on me
A word from Thee,
Lord, won't You please speak to me.
[Verse 2:]
With an anxious heart for the finish line,
Tryin' to fight a battle,
You know it's not yours, (it's the Lord's).
In those times I'm reminded
That I'm on the winning side,
If You speak, surely victory is mine.
[Chorus 2:]
Lord, please bestow on me
A word from Thee,
Lord, speak to me.
Lord, please bestow on me
A word from Thee,
Lord, won't You please speak.
[Bridge:]
(Would you speak a word),
(a word of peace) over me,
(I know) things will change;
(Lord, speak...)
Lord, won't You please,
Lord, won't You please speak.
[Chorus 3:]
Lord, please bestow on me
A word from Thee,
Lord, won't You please.
[Vamp 1:]
Lord, I wanna hear it,
Lord, I wanna hear
A word from You, Lord, yeah.
Lord, I wanna hear it,
Lord, I wanna hear
A word from You, Lord.
Oh, speak Lord,
Speak Lord, speak Lord.
[Vamp 2:]
Speak Lord,
Speak Lord,
Speak Lord.
Oh, speak Lord,
Speak Lord,
Speak Lord
