The Voice

I am a sheep and I hear the Voice of my Lord and my Shepherd.

I recognize Him and so it's my choice to follow the One I have heard.

I have not heard some still small voice that carries me along

The word I have heard is not like that- it's like a deafening song

It shouts the love of warning- it screams the truth of Light

It pierces the ear of this servant with powerful anthems in the night

The song that He sings o'er me has lyrics strong and clear

There's no faint whisper in this word- it rings out in my ear.

There is no mistaking the meaning- His shout brings down each wall

He even speaks peace with fervor- He awakens my soul with his call

His words of life are not whispered- He lifts up his battle cry

I will listen and obey him I will overcome the lie.

Like many rushing waters, Like a deafening lion's roar

He fills my mind with his power- that reigns forevermore!
