Lyrics
Hear my prayer oh Lord
Hear my cry dear Lord
I am trusting you, to bring me through
When you, breathe the breath of life
Everything, will be alright
Oh, oh, oh, yes it will

Meaning & Inspiration
"Hear My Prayer" voices a brief, direct petition, asking specifically to be heard rather than assuming that request as automatic. Its opening lines pair that plea with declared trust, stating confidence in being brought through difficulty even before describing what that difficulty involves.
The song's central image, God breathing "the breath of life," ties assurance directly to a specific act of divine sustaining power rather than vague encouragement. That connection between breath and outcome frames continued life itself as evidence sufficient to expect that circumstances will resolve well.
Its brevity keeps the prayer simple and repeatable, closing with a confident "yes it will" that answers the song's own uncertainty with settled hope. Rooted in contemporary gospel worship's use of short, personal prayers set to music, the song functions as a compact expression of trust amid difficulty, relying on trust in God's sustaining breath rather than resolved circumstances for its confidence.
