Listen And

To God, I listen. And He speaks.

He calms, He guides, He acts.

To fear, I listen. And it whispers.

It doubts, it nags, it stays

To my heart, I listen. And it sings

It dreams, it builds, it hopes

To advice, I listen. And it warns.

Patience. Let time tell.

To wait, I've chosen. I will bide.

But time keeps pressing on.

To act, I'm forced - I must decide -

Each moment is a choice

To fear, I listen - rushed, quick choice

To doubt, to dread, to dark.

To fear, I listen. Fear decides.

Forgotten, voice of God

But He speaks. He calls. He hears.

He answers former prayers.

To God, I listen. God alone.

I listen, and He speaks.
