Lyrics
Father can you hear me
We need your love today
I know that you are listening
You hear men everyday
Father please hear us
And we will be ok
Father we need you to heal families today
Father can you hear me
I'm calling on your name
Not budda nor muhammed
But it's Jesus we cry out loud
Father just forgive us
Hear us when we say
We'll give you, give you, give you everything
our lives and souls today
Father you know we need it
I've never seen so much pain
We have the faith for now
Your victory we will gain
Father you know we mean it
There's no more heart of stone
Were ready for your power
Now the sin is gone
Father Can You Hear Me Now

Lift your hand oh ye gates.
Let the King of Glory still come in.
Somebody tell me who he is.
The King of Glory.
The Lord of God.
Strong and Mighty.
Do you know Jesus?
Somebody ought to
Stand up and say yea, oh yeah.
Somebody say yes.

Father Can You Hear Me - Lyrics
Meaning & Inspiration
"Father, Can You Hear Me," a powerful and moving testament released on May 17, 2011, by Tiffany Evans, Terrell Carter, Cheryl Pepsii Riley, and Tamela Mann, plunges deep into the core of human reliance and faith. This song isn't about a fleeting pop sentiment; it is a profound exploration of vulnerability and hope, echoing the cries of a soul seeking divine connection and solace. The narrative woven through the track speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost, uncertain, or overwhelmed, reaching out to a higher power with a raw and unadorned plea. It captures that universal experience of facing trials and instinctively turning towards the Creator, much like a child calling for their parent. This echoes the very foundation of prayer as described throughout Scripture, where individuals in distress or gratitude consistently addressed God directly. Consider the psalmist's fervent appeals, such as in Psalm 130:1-2, "Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy." The artists embody this spirit, delivering a message that resonates with the profound truth found in Matthew 7:7, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." The collective vocal performance amplifies the song’s gravity, each voice a distinct expression of earnest petition. Cheryl Pepsii Riley and Tamela Mann, veterans of gospel music, lend an undeniable gravitas, grounding the song in a tradition of profound spiritual expression. Tiffany Evans and Terrell Carter offer fresh perspectives, demonstrating that this quest for divine assurance transcends generations. The song’s strength lies not in complex musical arrangements, but in its unflinching honesty. It encourages listeners to embrace their need for divine guidance and to trust that their sincere prayers are heard. This is the essence of biblical encouragement, reminding us that God’s ear is ever open to those who call on Him in truth, as promised in Psalm 145:18, "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." "Father, Can You Hear Me" serves as a beautiful reminder that in our moments of greatest need, the simple act of reaching out, of asking, and of believing in a listening God is the most profound strength we possess. It’s an anthem for the faithful, an invitation to unwavering trust, and a testament to the enduring power of prayer in the face of life's inevitable challenges.
