Speak For Me
Jaci Velasquez · Jaci Velasquez
To a world in need
Yet for some unknown reason
You have chosen me
Lord You've set my journey
You've prepared the way
Still, I'm desperate for the words to say
All I am is willing
All I have is in Your hands
Speak for me, this my plea
Say the words I can't express
Sing for me a heavenly melody
That the people will be blessed
Speak for me
Every brief encounter
That You send my way
Is it just to show the love You gave me?
I see their troubled faces
A hunger deep inside
Lord, I depend on You to touch their lives
Light what burns within me
Let Your truth shine through my life
(Bridge 3 & 4)
Sing for me, set me free
And they will see Your holiness
Speak for me
('Cause Your love will lead them on to heaven's gate
Where they can look upon Your face)
Bridge 6
You're all I have to offer to a world in need.
