Answer When I Call

Like an owl in a desert, a sparrow,
alone and astray,
I watch, I wait.
Turn in ear to me Oh Lord;
answer when I call
Like the grass of the summer,
like shadows that wither and fade,
O Lord I wait.
Turn in ear to me Oh Lord;
answer when I call
Give an ear to my pleading, and hear me,
O God of my heart; I wait, I pray.
Turn in ear to me Oh Lord;
answer when I call
