Lyrics
It was a while ago, faced with some obstacles, that I, I wrote a song
Well, it's more of a prayer
And I'll give You the first few lines, and then Neil Larson on the Hammond B3
And the Webb Sisters will unfold the song
If it be Your will that I speak no more
And my voice be still as it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until I am spoken for
If it be Your will
If it be Your will that a voice be true
From this broken hill I will sing to You
From this broken hill all Your praises they shall ring
If it be Your will to let me sing
If it be Your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until I am spoken for
If it be Your will
If it be Your will
Let a voice be true
From this broken hill I will sing to You
From this broken hill, all Your praises there shall ring
If it be Your will to let me sing
If it be Your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let Your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be Your will to make us well
And draw us near
Oh, bind us tight, all Your children here
In our racks of light
In our racks of light, all dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be Your will
And end this night
If it be Your will
Oh, if it be Your will
Oh
Oh, if it be Your will
Hattie and Charlie Webb, the sublime Web Sisters
