If You Listen

….Calling…..Calling……Calling….

I always used to wonder,
why I couldn’t hear God speak. But it seemed I was too busy, so his help I didn’t seek.

If you listen he is calling.(Calling).
Pay attention, you will hear.(You will hear). He might show you something visual
Not depending on your ear.

What do your thoughts return to
in the quiet time of day?
Would distractions you should spurn be beneficial anyway?

If you listen he is calling.(Calling).
Pay attention, you will hear.(You will hear). Though you feel you’ve been deserted God is actually quite near.

You can understand his message when you set aside the space,
in the schedule that would drive you at an ever faster pace.

Get away from electronics.
Put your smart phone in a box.
Try some noise-reducing headphones, if they help to clear your thoughts.

If you listen he is calling.(Calling).
Pay attention, you will hear.(You will hear). Things that lurk in your subconscious May have got there through your ear.

When your goal is inner peace
you need God’s help to get you there. His invitation’s been extended.
In his love we all can share.

If you listen he is calling.(Calling).
and he wants to draw you near.(Draw you near). It is up to you to trust him.
Never fear, never fear.

If you listen he is calling.
If you listen he is calling, he is calling, never fear.
