Voice
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” Jesus Christ speaking in John 10:27 of the King James Bible
Voice of God awakens me every day
His morning cheers greet my soul when I pray
Through His Word during meditation time
While reading Scriptures with immortal chime.
The Lord’s voice whispers, “Child, make me your choice
In my presence, you can fully rejoice…”
Surely, I follow His guidance so clear
And to His favored best my heart draws near.
Christ’s assuring voice of triumphant hope
Drives me for conquest as from pain I cope
Since trials hinder ministerial zest
While my shallow faith wavers during test.
The Saviour’s voice does calm my fears and doubt
Whenever He hushes complaining shout
And pacifies with quietude divine
Confused mind along agonizing whine.
With the Father’s voice of pardon so sweet
Triumphantly declaring guilt’s defeat
I thank Him for offered forgiveness-grace
While He shuts me inside His warm embrace.
Then as I lay for peaceful rest each night
The Holy Spirit’s voice gives blest delight
Settling my well-being with blissful sleep
In lovely lullaby for me, His sheep.
