Story Behind The Song
Todd adapted this song from a prayer/poem that his friend Karen Hopkins sent him after she accepted Christ.
Song Description
This song moves. While the tempo is only 115, it feels much faster as a cool African folk/rock beat on the verse transitions into a soaring, splashy North American rock anthem for the chorus. Great harmonies, and a cool soprano sax solo add to the unique vibe.

Lyrics
Lend me your voice my Lord
When I have no words to speak
Lend me your heart my God
When my heart finds no love to keep
I want to let your feet take me where you want me to be
I only want to be your servant
Lord, please lead
Make me your light
In this dark world
Make me your light
In this dark, dark world
Lend me your eyes my God
So I can see what needs to be done
Lend me your ears
So I can hear the lost and lonely's song
I want to be the one who speaks your hope instead of fear
I want to love everyone, everything that you bring near
