D7 G
D G
When I was fresh, from God,
D G
the first thing I heard as I came into this life,
D G D
the sound of fear, ringing in my ear my own voice,
G
as life hit me and I cried,
D
As I grew through the years,
G
the chorus of temptation,
D G
beckoned me to come and sing apart,
D
But Jesus was his name,
G
that broke from my mamaw's tongue,
C
and settled in my heart
[Chorus]
Am D
And what I'm listening for, through all the noise,
Am D C
a whisper in my ear, the shepherd's voice.
[Verse 2]
D G
The confusion that the bustle brings, the pretty song the siren sings,
D G
The sound of teeth against forbidden fruit,
D G
A fallen man who screams in pain, a groaning earth beneath the strain
D C
Who could hope to ever hear the truth,
[Chorus]
Am D
And what I'm listening for, through all the noise,
Am D C
A whisper in my ear, the shepherd's voice.
[Verse 3]
D G D
When I am tired and I am weary, of this life and I am done
D G C
I will close my eyes, and let my spirit still, till I hear the Son
[Chorus]
Am D C
And what I'm listening for, through all the noise,
Am D C
a whisper in my ear, the shepherd's voice.
Am D C
And what I'm listening for, through all the noise,
Am D F
a whisper in my ear, the shepherd's voice.
