Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We need your love today
I know that you are listening
You hear me everyday
Father please hear us
And we will be OK
Father we need you to heal families today
I'm calling on your name
Not Buddha nor Muhammad
But it's Jesus we cry out loud
Father just forgive us
Hear us when we say
We'll give ya, give ya, give you everything our lives and souls today
Father you know we need it
I've never seen so much pain
We have the faith for now
Your victory we will gain
Father you know we mean it
There's no more heart of stone
We are ready for your power
Now the sin is gone

The song "Father Can You Hear Me" by Tanya Blount is a prayer that asks God for help and forgiveness. The lyrics express the singer's faith and belief that God is listening to their plea. The first verse acknowledges that the world is in need of God's love and asks Him to help heal families. The second verse is a call specifically to Jesus and a recognition that only He can forgive sins. The lyrics then express the singer's unwavering faith and willingness to give everything to God. The chorus repeats the question to God if He is listening and if He will answer, followed by the assurance that He will say yes. The song ends with a call to the listener to believe and stand up in faith.
