Understanding Ephphatha

This is a choral piece my daughter Angela and her friend Kathleen graciously recorded.  As part of the Alphabe-Thursday’s Letter U  Challenge. ♫♪ 

Ephphatha:  Be Opened

Based on Mark 7:34

1. Ephphatha, be opened

Thus says the Lord.

Deaf are commanded to hear with their soul.

Spirit, dwell within us.

Hearts closed and minds closed

We long to be filled

Only the spirit can open our will.

Spirit, dwell within us

Ephphatha, be opened.

Fill us O Lord

Ephphatha, be opened.

Open us Lord

2. Ephphatha, be opened.

Spirit’s reward.

Don’t vex the spirit.

Let Him have control.

Spirit, dwell within us.

Heart, mind, and soul

For the Lord we’re designed.

Only the spirit lets us see the divine.

Spirit, dwell within us

Ephphatha, be opened.

Fill us O Lord

Ephphatha, be opened.

We hear you Lord.
