Ears to Hear My Prayer
  • Dear Folks,

    I have a funeral scheduled for tomorrow and the family has asked for a hymn (song?) called, "Ears to hear my prayer." I have no clue and cannot find this in any of my hymnals (Catholic and Protestant--Baptist, Pentecostal, etc.). If any of you have any leads I would appreciate it very much!!!

  • A Google search for ""Ears to hear my prayer" hymn" comes up with nothing, too.

    Weird.
  • I believe it is a tune called "Humble Plea" by Fellowship Church.

    The "ear, to hear my prayer" is the lyric phrase that sticks in the memory.

    I can only find the guitar chords online.

    It's on YouTube.

    Hear oh Lord my humble plea
    Listen to my cry
    Give your ear, to hear my prayer
    And answer me, oh Lord answer me

    May the words that I speak
    And the thoughts that I meditate on be
    Pleasing to you

    Here’s my humble plea
    Take all that’s in me
    Let it be yours
    For your glory
    Cause you are all I need
    So take all that’s in me
    Let it be yours
    For your glory

    I deny myself of selfishness
    That used to robe my skin
    It became my flesh until
    I confessed my need
    And brokenness for you

    May the words that I speak
    And the thoughts that I meditate on be
    Pleasing to you

    Here’s my humble plea
    Take all that’s in me
    Let it be yours
    For your glory
    Cause you are all I need
    So take all that’s in me
    Let it be yours
    For your glory

    My flesh may fail me
    Heart may fail me
    Everything I have may fail me
    My only hope is resting at your feet
  • Excellent, thank you ... probably not a hymn (song) we will be permitted to use ... I am going to replace it with Sing With all the Saints.

    Thanks so much!
