From Your Mouth to God's Ears Songtext
von Derek Webb

Oh, love is never really in a song
That′s what I believed for so long
But your love makes me strong and free and your love makes me cute
Clearly I'd do anything for you

Oh, you & I, we wished upon a star
So I don′t know who to thank for what we are
My heart is full of language but I don't know who to call
Your timbre's so much sweeter after all

So, from your mouth to god′s ears
Yours may be the one voice that maybe he can hear
From your mouth to god′s ears
Oh, I don't know who′s listening
But the sound of your voice changes everything

Some people wanna take me to the roof
Open up a hole and drop me through
Well, they can keep their mansions, I'll take our house on the hill
′Cause when I'm unlovable you love me still


So, from your mouth to god′s ears
Yours may be the one voice that maybe they can hear
From your mouth to god's ears
Oh, it may be placebo but the sound of your voice changes everything
The sound of your voice changes everything

I know you feel uneasy about calling justice down
Who can be trusted with the vengeance of the lord
Weapons from wounds when we don't speak ′em out
Oh, it winds up costing more oh, than we can afford

Oh, when you say you love me it sounds true
I may just believe it ′cause it's you
And sometimes it′s a whisper oh, and sometimes it's a shout
But you′re the only thing I'm certain about

So, from your mouth to god′s ears
Yours may be the one voice that maybe she can hear
From your mouth to god's ears
Such lovely intercession, the sound of your voice changes everything
The sound of your voice changes everything
