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
