Refrain

He who has the ears
To hear what
The Spirit has to say
Speak Lord
Speak Lord
Speak Lord

Couplet 1

You have been so strong
You have worked so hard
The striving and the strain
Won’t take you very far
Return to me
Return to me
My people return to me

Couplet 2

You’re wealthy you have plenty
But you’ve endured so much
Just brave the accusations
Be faithful till you’ve won
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
My people don’t be afraid

Couplet 3

I know what you’ve done
And I see where you’ve been
And I want you to know
That this is not the end
Change your ways
Change your ways
My people change your ways

Couplet 4

You had good intentions
Then you were led astray
So tear down all the idols
And my love will remain
Just keep the faith
Keep the faith
My people keep the faith

Couplet 5

Can you still remember
The visions and the dreams
Before the world had changed you
Before you fell asleep
Oh wake up
Oh wake up
My people please wake up

Couplet 6

I know your strength is fading
But you’ve been here before
You hold the key of David
That opens every door
So hold on
Hold on
My people hold on

Pont

You’ve been in the middle
You can’t decide what’s true
I’m standing in the doorway
I won’t force myself on you
Will you let me in
Just let me in
My people let me in

Refrain modifié

Come Lord
Come Lord
Come Lord
