The Voice of One!
The voice of one is crying out in the night.
Trying to be heard when nothing is going right.
Always trying hard to do their very best,
When sounds all around are mocking you, and
You’re trying to find some rest.
The voice of one is crying, wanting to be heard.
Sitting in the shadows, trying not to be scared.
Scared of being right when others are doing wrong.
The voice of one needing to stand up and be strong.
One can make a difference when their voice is heard.
When they stand up against their avengers and not bow down to fear.
The voice of one crying in silence can not be heard,
They must come to the front and not hang back in the rear.
The voice of one must stand their ground,
They must not give in to other’s defiant sounds.
They must stand firm and not give up on hope.
The voice of one will prevail when all others cannot cope.
The voice of one….
Can you be that one to cry out for the meek?
Can you speak out for the young and those who are so weak?
Can you be the voice that is wanting to be heard?
The voice of only one..
is all the world deserve.
Ezekiah 22:30 And I sought for a man among hem, that should make up the hedge and stand in
the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none….
