I couldn't help but sing this song as I was driving home from dinner tonight. I went to visit a friend in a neighboring village. She had invited me over for dinner at her house. I didn't really want to go to be honest. I was in the zone and super focused on studying Japanese. But I said I would go. So I went. I didn't really want to go. I asked a sister to pray for me before I left. I just listened to worship music as I drove. We were eating dinner and talking, mostly about work, but then things shifted. We started talking about God and Jesus and Christianity. I was not prepared for that. And as we were talking and she was asking questions, "Hear Us From Heaven" came to mind. Especially, "Breathe life into these dry and thirsty souls". I could tell she had so many questions and just unknowns. But my inadequate Japanese proved to be a barrier, so I told her next time I would bring my Japanese Bible and she was quite excited.
Keep praying for Japan! Keep praying for my people! Lord, hear us from heaven! Come heal this land! Breathe life into these dry and thirsty souls! Open the blind eyes! Unlock the deaf ears! Touch this generation!
Lord, hear our cry
Come heal our land
Breath life into these dry and thirsty souls
Lord, hear our prayer
Forgive our sin
And as we call on your name
Would you make this a place
For your glory to dwell
Chorus:
Open the blind eyes
Unlock the deaf ears
Come to your people
As we draw near
Hear us from heaven
Touch our generation
We are your people
Crying out in desperation
Bridge:
Hear us from heaven,
Hear us from heaven,
Hear us from heaven (4x)
