Tommy Walker - Speak to Me Lyrics

This short prayer song asks God for guidance and counsel. The singer identifies as a servant who is listening and repeatedly asks "Speak to me Lord, speak to me." The needs named are wisdom, truth and comfort, and the lines about a silent heart and a longing soul describe a posture of waiting.

The middle section lists the ways the singer hopes to hear: "Through your word" and "Through your spirit." The repeated phrases "I am listening" and "I am waiting" keep attention on receiving instead of speaking, and "Speak your words of life" connects the request to the life-giving quality of God's word.

The language resembles 1 Samuel 3:10, where Samuel answers, "Speak, for your servant is listening," and John 6:63, where Jesus says His words are spirit and life. The song may serve as a quiet prayer before Bible reading or in a time of stillness.
