The Voice of God
by Barbara Philbrook

For many years I didn't hear the voice of God,
and when others said they did I thought them odd.

I didn't hear because I wasn't paying attention,
that God's voice is as the gentle wind my friends forgot to mention.

God hears us as we call out to Him in love or distress,
and wants nothing more than to bring us happiness.

But God will not force Himself on us,
He wants to be loved and accepted without a fuss.

One can not hear God's gentle voice while complaining,
I'm not lecturing just explaining.

God speaks softly and you must be listening to hear,
I have never heard anything I hold more dear.

There is one fact you may find as a surprise,
when God speaks His voice you'll recognize.

How will you know it is His voice you ask me,
you will know that you know most definitely.

There will be absolutely no doubt in your mind,
it will be the most perfect knowledge ever defined.

The voice of God will be your delight too,
just call out to Him, He's waiting to speak to you.
