Can they hear your voice in heaven
When you call upon His name?
Does your pleading make a difference
Where the courts above convene?
Will the foe unbind his captives
At the sound of your travail?
Or perhaps you, like so many
Just make prayers of scarce avail.
Is it hunger for revival
And a life that's Spirit led
Or a cry of babes and sucklings
Whining after fish and bread?
Who will wait upon His purpose?
Are there Daniels in the land?
Men acquainted with repentance
And the grace of God's Right Hand
Kingdoms felt the Master's presence
And the likes of Paul they knew
But the rulers of the darkness
Now are asking, WHO ARE YOU?
