Lyrics: Jennifer Knapp. Lay It Down. You Answer Me.

All the things I want to say
All at once they wash away
As You walk by out of mind
My thoughts fly away

And all the things I long to hear
Suddenly they reappear
You say in that hour Your holy power
Will wipe away my fears

I, I can hear You cry out loud
When You answer me, when You answer me
And I, once again I am revived
When You answer me, You answer
When You answer me, You answer me with love, love

To know You are, I am
Confidence of lion lying with the lamb
In greener fields, oh, with all my zeal
Is hard to comprehend

I, I can hear You cry out loud
When You answer me, when You answer me
And I, once again I am revived
When You answer me, You answer
When You answer me, You answer me

With love so understanding
I can hardly catch my breath
Seeing this I wonder how
You have any love left

Me not alone when I did not believe
Through the darkness, through the darkness
You answer me, yeah

And I, I can hear You cry out loud
When You answer me, oh, when You answer me
And I, once again I am revived
When You answer me, You answer
When You answer me, You answer me with love
