Based on Matthew 8:5-11

Jesus, only speak the word
Speak peace and the storm is calmed
Speak hope and the trouble is overwhelmed
Speak life and the new is born, and it is good

Jesus, only speak the word
Speak justice and the oppressed are seen and freed
Speak truth and the masks of hypocrisy fall
Speak grace and the path of peacemaking appears

Jesus, only speak the word
Speak light and we are light, saved from the shadows
Speak our names and we are found, we come to ourselves at last
Speak welcome and we are home

Jesus speak
We are listening
We trust in you
