Listening

So it seems sometimes that I grow weary
And that the world around will overtake me
And all the things I pray just seem to float away
As I stand alone I dream of you

Listening, for your voice to tell me where I should go
Listening, for your word to teach me the wisdom I should know
Listening, for your light to shine the way through the darkest night
Listening, for comfort and love to feel all right

So now I'm listening for your voice to softly call my name
I'm listening for your voice to help me on my way
Yes I am, listening for your voice I long to hear you say
"My child I've come and here I'll stay."

It is the still small voice the man listens for
Sometimes he shouts more time he whispers
It is the still small voice the man listens for
Sometimes he shouts more time he whispers

For there are times in life I feel quite empty
And there are times when nothing will prevent me
From striving day to day trying to, find a way
To a love I can only find in you, yeah you

Listening, in moments, when I find it hard to hear you
Listening, through the distractions of the world

Now I'm listening for your voice to softly call my name
I'm listening for your voice to help me on my way
Yes I am, listening for your voice I long to hear you say
My child I've come and here I'll stay

It is the still small voice the man listens for
Sometimes he shouts more time he whispers
It is the still small voice the man listens for
Sometimes he shouts more time he whispers

I want you to listen the tear from my eye
Well shines and glistens
God's word is sweet as honey and it heals as medicine
It soothes my soul what the pastor says to do
Through your brothers and sisters and the mind of Christ in you
So I want you to listen and to listen cleanly
With God's all seeing eyes you will see clearly
That your day-to-day life it is just prophecy
To be fulfilled by God almighty

Now I'm listening for your voice to softly call my name
I'm listening for your voice to help me on my way
Yes I am, listening for your voice I long to hear you say
My child I've come and here I'll stay
