Pretend God is Deaf Lyrics

You can whisper every hope
You can say it perfectly
But some prayers are never spoken
They’re lived out quietly
There’s a language without sound
That heaven understands
Every time you choose compassion
With your heart, with your hands

Maybe God is deaf to words
That never leave the ground
Maybe love is how He hears
What we’re saying now

So go and love somebody
Go and let it show
If you want heaven listening
This is how it knows
Don’t pray it into silence
Don’t wait for a sign
Let your life be the prayer
Let your life be the prayer
Every day, every time

You don’t need a louder voice
You don’t need to beg or plead
God has always heard you best
When you move toward need
When forgiveness finds a body
When mercy learns to walk
That’s the moment heaven listens
That’s when prayers start to talk

If faith is more than believing
If it’s more than what we say
Then maybe God is listening
To how we choose to live today

So go and love somebody
Go and let it show
If you want heaven listening
This is how it knows
Don’t pray it into silence
Don’t wait for a sign
Let your life be the prayer
Let your life be the prayer
Every day, every time

Pretend God is deaf tonight
And He’s watching how you live
Every choice becomes a message
Every moment says you give
You don’t need another answer
You don’t need to ask again
Love is already speaking
Let it speak through you
Amen

Go and love somebody
Go and let it show
Every step of kindness
Is a prayer God knows
You don’t need the perfect words

You don’t need to explain
Let your life be the prayer
Let your life be the prayer
Let your life be the prayer
