Words by Stuart Townend and Keith GettyMusic by Keith Getty and Stuart TownendWritten 2005Tune SPEAK O LORD
Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
To receive the food of Your holy word.
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,
That the light of Christ might be seen today
Story Behind the Song
"Speak, O Lord" is a contemporary hymn by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, published by Thankyou Music in the mid-2000s. It is written as a congregational prayer asking God to speak through Scripture, especially before the reading and preaching of the Word. The hymn reflects Getty and Townend's aim of writing modern hymns with strong doctrinal content and singable congregational melodies.
