The LORD said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD?"
-- Exodus 4:11
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 your 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."
