Listen
by Barbara Philbrook

Shhhh Listen my friend and you shall hear a voice most dear,
you shall hear the voice beckoning you to trust and draw near.

You shall hear the softest voice known to man,
if you listen you will hear He will make certain that you can.

Listen the voice is drawing all of mankind,
it is drawing you to the truest strongest love that you will ever find.

Listen my friend and you will hear God's still calm voice,
He's telling you we all must make the final choice.

Listen and you will be told of the salvation story,
and you will hear how it began when Jesus left behind His Glory.

You will hear of the suffering He was willing to bear,
that all who will accept His offer will be allowed to go there.

Yes listen to that still calm voice and  it will explain,
how taking on our sins caused Him unbearable suffering and pain.

Jesus knew in advance what His sacrifice would enfold,
I pray that you will listen as the truth is told.

Listen and hear the truths as they divulge the story,
how that same Savior rose again to live once more in Glory.

Shhhh Listen the time for listening is growing real short,
and only those who listened will be there the others will not.
