Hear Me Lord
George Harrison · All Things Must Pass [2000]
Forgive me lord
Please, those years when I ignored you, hmm
Forgive them lord
Those that feel they can't afford you, hmm
Help me lord, please
To rise above this dealing, hmm
Help me lord, please
To love you with more feeling, hmm
At both ends of the road
To the left and the right
Above and below us
Out and in, there's no place that you're not in
Oh, won't you hear me lord
(Hear me lord)
(Hear me lord)
(Hear me lord)
(Hear me lord)
At both ends of the road
To the left and the right
Above and below us
Out and in, there's no place that you're not in
Oh, won't you hear me lord
Help me lord, please
To rise a little higher, hmm
Help me lord, please
To burn out this desire, hmm
Hear me lord, please
Hear me lord, please
Oh, won't you please, please
Hear me lord
Oh, hear me lord
Hear me lord
Oh, won't you please, please
Hear me lord
My lord, my lord, my lord

Now, won't you please (hear me lord)
My lord, my lord, my lord
Won't you please / (Hear me lord)
Oh, hear me lord, hear me lord
(Hear me lord)
Hear Me Lord
Hear Me Lord stands as a testament to George Harrison's deepening spiritual exploration during the early 1970s. Recorded for the monumental triple album All Things Must Pass, the track showcases Harrison's signature blend of rock instrumentation and devotional themes. As a key figure in the British Invasion who evolved into a respected solo artist, Harrison frequently infused his compositions with religious imagery and philosophical reflection. This recording captures his distinctive guitar work and melodic sensibility, reflecting the lush production style that defined his post-Beatles output. The song remains a significant song in his extensive discography, illustrating how he balanced personal faith with the demands of mainstream rock music. It serves as a reminder of his unique ability to craft intimate, spiritually charged anthems that resonated with audiences worldwide.
