This is a song I wrote for a seminar in Salt Lake City in the late nineties. The theme of the seminar was how to listen to God's voice. There is a bit of repetition in the song to go along with the modern music of the day. It was a lovely seminar and I learned a lot. The fellow who accompanied me on his guitar is now the Resa in Utah. Quite a nice musician with his own band.
There Are Many Ways To Listen To God's Voice
There ae many ways to listen to God's voice;
through the eyes of a child;
through the eyes of my fellow man;
Ohhhhh,
if I listen, if I listen.
My own heart speaks so clearly,
when I listen, when I listen.
Messages come trom the Golden Tongue
when I listen, when I listen.
The call of an eagle flying high above;
the whisper of an animal seeking my love;
the wind in the trees;
the whistle of a train;
a running brook;
a hive of bees;
the soft pelting rain;
a beggar;
a thief;
a lonely soul needing to talk;
music from a stereo;
rustling leaves when I walk.
There are many ways to listen to God's voiece
when I listen, when I listen,
and there really isn't every any mystery,
only a choice,
just to listen, if I listen,
only listen.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Cami! We move so fast, making so much racket ... this is a wonderful reminder to slow down, be quiet, and open our minds and senses.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandy and Sharon. It is something music writers will grasp easily.
