Shepherd's Voice

(album: Mosaic - 2010)

When I was fresh from God
The first thing I heard
As I came into this life

The sound of fear ringing in my ear
My own voice
As life hit me and I cried

As I grew through the years
The chorus of temptation
Beckoned me to come and sing a part

But Jesus was the name
That rolled from my mama's tongue
And settled in my heart

Now what I'm listening for
Through all the noise
A whisper in my ear
The Shepherd's voice

The confusion that bustle brings
The pretty song the siren sings
The sound of thief against forbidden fruit

A fallen man who screams in pain
A groaning earth beneath the strain
Who could hope to ever hear the truth?

Oh, what I'm listening for
Through all the noise
A whisper in my ear
The Shepherd's voice

When I am tired
And I am weary
Of this life and I am done

I will close my eyes
And let my spirit still
Until I hear the Son

Yeah, what I'm listening for
Through all the noise
A whisper in my ear
The Shepherd's voice

And what I'm listening for
Through all the noise
A whisper in my ear
The Shepherd's voice
