Meaning & Inspiration
Father Can You Hear Me is a gospel plea for healing of families and forgiveness. The first verse asks the Father whether He hears, says the singer knows He is listening, and asks Him to heal families today. The second names Jesus as the one called on, rather than other religious figures, and gives lives and souls in return. The third verse admits seeing so much pain, says the faith is there for victory, and that there is no more heart of stone.
A long choir section has a lead voice calling the people to say yes, to raise a hand and say yes to His will, and the closing ad lib asks for healing by the blood of the Lamb. The prayer echoes Psalm 34:15, Psalm 51:1-2, Ezekiel 36:26 and Hebrews 9:14, with Acts 4:12 for the name of Jesus. The call-and-response format suits a choir and congregation.
