Oh, great God, be small enough to hear me now.
There were times when I was crying from the dark of Daniel's den.
And I have asked you once or twice if you would part the see again.
But tonight I do not need a firey pillar in the sky.
Just want to know you're gonna hold me if I start to cry.
Oh, great God, be small enough to hear me now.
Oh, great God, be close enough to feel you now.
Oh, great God, be close to me.
There have been moments when I could not face Goliath on my own.
And how could I forget? We marched around our share of Jericho's.
But I will not be setting out a fleece for you tonight.
Just want to know that everything will be alright.
Oh, great God, be close enough to feel you now.
Oh, praise and all the honor be to the God of ancient mysteries-whose every sign and wonder turned the pages of our history.
But tonight, my heart is heavy. And I cannot keep from whispering this prayer.
"Are you there?"
And I know you couuld leave writing on the wall that's just for me.
Or send wisdom while I'm sleeping, like in Solomon's sweet dreams.
But I don't need the strength of Sampson. Or chariot in the air.
Just want to know that you still know how many hairs are on my head.
Oh, great God, are you small enough?
Be small enough to hear me now.
