Shepherd's Voice

When I was fresh from God

The first thing I heard

As I came into this life

The sound of fear ringin' 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
