Whispers In Church
Magnificent cathedral
Saints and sinners gather in
Word of God delivered
To triumph over sin
Within the walls
Between the pews
You hear the faintest cry
Whispers in the church house
In the sweet by and by
Quiet prayers
Sent up to God
Repentance for the sin
Committed in the quiet night
Where no man wants to live
In hopes that God
Will grant a pardon
For acts of immortal sin
The best of intentions
Laid out in prayer
Amazing grace to win
Secretly hoping
God’s grace and mercy
Finds favor on your soul
Sending up promises
Acts of contrition
Heart’s willing to mourn
Is he still listening?
Do you still wonder?
Has he turned a deaf ear?
No answer is given
While here on this earth
You’ll find out in the beginning
