Deaf Christians Prayer

Do Angels sing in heaven, Lord?
Will I hear music there?
Or must I stand in a corner,
While others join in prayer?

Will I wonder what they’re saying Lord,
Like I often do down here?
Must I sit still and be patient,
While the bells ring loud and clear?

Can I read you lips in heaven Lord,
Or will I be brushed aside?
Will I hide my hands in my pocket?
Because of wounded pride?

Will the saints all stand to praise thee,
While I in silence wait?
Will there be someone in heaven,
To lead me through the gate?

And God, who loveth the humble
Whispered into the anxious deaf ear,
“My child, has no one told you,
There is no silence here?

Hold out your hands, my Little One,
Fore heaven all to see
We’ve heard them pray so many times
Each prayer reached up to me.”

“See all of the angels are waiting,
The gate is open wide.
Your crown of life is waiting,
And I shall be your guide.

I have a song to give you
My Little One so dear
Your songs of praise
Will be the sweetest song up here.”
