Listen
There is a dark place from winst I came
I could not see, did not know my name
So cold and alone did I feel
No hope at all, I would not-could not heal.
From within that place
the light that shines I saw
I heard a tiny whisper, a new name I heard Him call
Whose voice is this I hear from these depths from which I tread?
What is that light I see
It looks like hope instead of fear
maybe I'm not dead
Not really understanding why, I seemed not
to crawl but to fly
out of that deep dark hole
I saw a bright star cry
I remember vividly
as if it were happening now
Such joy filled my heart
Such happiness, such bliss-
Upon my spirit a new life came to exist.
Still today, each day, I thank Him
I close my eyes to the worldly wise and all He asks is, "Listen".
