Divine Whisper
Looking back over my life
God's hand was always there
even in pre birth Jesus spoke
a faint whisper faint to hear
Despite this events later told
how Jesus kept me in His care
protecting me from all dangers
intervening here and there
The word of Christ declares
before eternity I chose you
to be redeemed as my instrument
as my witness faithful and true
My earthly days began alone
to be adopted stuttering in tongue
but Jesus helped me to cope
reading Hs life stories even when young
These seeds slowly took root
as I learned hymns like 'green hill'
the Lord has continually taught me
listen to me that voice so still
AUTHOR NOTES: In the final verse the reference to 'green hill' is the hymn ' There is a green hill far away'.
