This is a collaboration with a fellow muso from America called Tom Tognaci. Tom posted the lyric which I said I liked, very much and offered a few edits etc. Tom liked my edits and asked if I wanted to put it to music… so I did another edit, arranged it for music and here is the finished result… a Contemporary Christian, slightly reggae, slightly pop… 😎

[b]Oh Jesus, Can You Hear Me Now?
Tom Tognaci & Dai Crowther
V1.[/b]
Can?t call me a saint
A holy roller I? ain?t
I?m just a man living on faith and wine
Yes! I played a part
But I never knew my heart
?Till you blew in and you made me spin
[b]Chorus:[/b]
Oh, Jesus, can you hear me now
The one voice in the wilderness calling
Jesus, can you see me now
This candle in the empty sea of darkness
This candle in the empty sea of darkness
This candle in the empty sea of darkness
Ooh, ooh, ooooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[b]V2.[/b]
Determined and bent
My younger years were spent
Out of sight and out of mind
Now that I?ve grown old
And my faith is taking hold
I'm beginning to see, what you mean to me
[b]Chorus:[/b]
Oh, Jesus, can you hear me now
The one voice in the wilderness calling
Jesus, can you see me now
This candle in the empty sea of darkness
This candle in the empty sea of darkness
This candle in the empty sea of darkness
Ooh, ooh, ooooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[b]Bridge:[/b]
How many roads lead to regret?
How many deserts crossed?
There was a name I did forget?
?Till I learned how to pray, now its back to stay
[b]V3.[/b]
Some say God is dead
In the times up ahead
Where gold is the bold sacred cow
From ruins to dust
In the good Lord we trust
More now than ever, forever and ever
[b]Chorus:[/b]
Oh, Jesus, can you hear me now
The one voice in the wilderness calling
Jesus, can you see me now
This candle in the empty sea of darkness
This candle in the empty sea of darkness
This candle in the empty sea of darkness
Ooh, ooh, ooooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
This candle in the empty sea of darkness
