Father, How Can I Hear You?
A Song of Renewal

Martha Baumann, Soprano; Pat Lundy, Alto; Linda Harris, piano
Words and Music by Alan Harris


Now I hear Your voice
The landscape grows green with Your love....



Father, How Can I Hear You?
 
(Words to the Song)
 
Father, Father, how can I hear You?
Why are the clouds so gray?
Why is the wind so cold?
Oh, why are the trees so bare?
Father, Father, how can I hear You?

Father, Father, I pray unto You.
I pray for Your light, but the clouds remain;
I pray for Your warmth, but the cold wind blows on;
I pray for new growth, but the trees are still bare;
Father, Father, I pray unto You.

Father, Father, now I hear Your voice.
Your sun melts away my clouds, and I see Your light;
Your warm breath replaces the freezing wind;
The trees are beginning to bud and flower;
The landscape grows green with Your love.
Father, Father, now I can hear You.
