Speak to Me

I’m in a fix
Need something quick
My mind is numb
My stomach sick
Broken hearts
Hopeless things
I’ve seen what my defiance brings
Cause the light of day
I’ve always known
Is in my heart
I’m not alone

It’s amazing
How fast I forget
Can’t live my life for
Lack of it
But the light of day
I’ve always known
Is in my heart
I’m not alone

Speak to me
Tell me all the things I need to know
I want to hear You now
Can You speak to me
I’ve opened up Your Word to understand it
I’m ready to hear You now



I like this song a lot. I've been listening to "Lift" in the car while I drive around. It's been my opportunity to worship during the week, because my weeks are now so busy, I don't have much time to sing worship (besides while I'm singing to machinery).

What I like about the song is that it says, "My mind is numb, my stomach sick, broken hearts, hopeless things.. I've seen what defiance brings." and then it continues on by saying "speak to me, i want to hear you now, i've opened Your Word..." I've had a similar experience lately. Been defiant to God and His will for me. The results are a broken fellowship/relationship, feeling sick inside, mind numb, a bit hopeless. But not that hopeless, just a strong sense of regret and loss. So, the song softly speaks the same thing my heart does. "speak to me, i'm listening, returning, ready to hear You, opening Your Word." Restoration is never quick in a relationship, and the older I am, the more I know how wrong it is as I am willfully sinning against God. The damage takes longer to heal, my relationship means more as a result. Grace out of wrongdoing.

This song has helped put in words how I feel. I like this song. (c:
