Moya Brennan: Hear My Prayer

Formerly known by her birth name of Máire Brennan, the first lady of Celtic music and former lead singer and harpist of Clannad is now identified as Moya Brennan. As a committed Christian, Moya added “Hear My Prayer” to her seventh album – “Signature.”

It is a beautiful song that fuses traditional and electronic instrumentation to tell part of her story in song on this autobiographical album. The song was composed by Brennan, Sinéad Madden, and Fionán De Barra.

Lyrics

Hear my prayer
Bring me through the darkness, hear my heart
Draw me in
On this bright, new morning

Here I am, stay with me
Never too late to forgive
Here I am, set me free
Sing Hallelujah

Angels walk with me
Guide me to the water's edge
Wash away my doubts, my fears
Lord, strengthen me and bring me back to you

Change my heart
With a gentle touch you change my world
Hold me close
Fill my life with beauty

Hear my voice, stay with me
Bring cool water to my lips
Hear my prayer, set me free
Sing Hallelujah

Angels walk with me
Guide me to the water's edge
Wash away my doubts, my fears
Lord, strengthen me and bring me back to you
