A Voice Stirred From Within

When I stole a ball
   from the corner store
      Who are you
A voice stirred from within
   
When I told my best friend
   a bold-faced lie
     Who are you
A voice tugged from within
   
As I raised a hand
   to strike my child
      Who are you
A voice cried from within
  
As my good wife let me know
   she'd reached the end of her rope
That voice lay stock still 
   ~ I'd not done God's will

Yes, it is good to hear the voice of God before one’s heart hardens...then it’s too late! Well done!

As my mother told me, God gave me two ears and one mouth. A message there... Cheers, Gershon
