Vicki Cook, worship leader at Wotton Baptist Church, brings us a brand new worship song for these times. Beginning with a soulful reflection of current uncertainties, the song soon morphs into a song of hope, expressing that even though we might be one individual praying at home or worshipping God via online resources, he hears our prayers, our “Amens”, as though we are gathered together. He receives our worship alongside all of creation and the angels.
"He Hears (Living Hope)"

Verse 1
Churches stand empty
Bells are silent
People dispersed cry out to you
Strangest of feelings
Rise to the surface
Fears that we have but never knew
Pre-chorus
God our Saviour hears
God our Saviour hears
Chorus
He hears a quiet prayer
Rising like incense
Gathered with two or three more
At His throne
And the "Amens" sound
He hears a solitary voice
Then another
Join with a symphony
Of praise
And the "Amens" sound
Pre-chorus....
Chorus.....
Bridge
You’re our living hope
Jesus
You're our living hope
Mighty to save
You’re our living hope
Death is defeated
You’re our living hope
Risen from the grave
Ending
God our Saviour hears
God our Saviour hears
You’re our living hope
You’re our living hope (repeat)
