from your lips to God's ear: It means "May what you have described come to pass." The idea is that you speak, God listens, God makes the thing happen. http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/50/messages/1083.html

My personal belief is that if God had ears, he'd have shut all of us up a long **&%*&% time ago.

Fun sayn moyl, in Gots oyer! Yiddish May God hear what he has said(and fulfill it)! From Psalm 130:2: Lord hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voive of my supplications. It is also in the Orthodox Jewish prayer book.
