Like A Whisper

(Below is a song I recently finished writing, entitled Like a Whisper.)

(verse 1)

I was Elijah in the desert
Despairing of my life
All alone with my fear
I had no more excuses
And no one left to blame
Death seemed an easy escape

(verse 2)

But like Elijah on Horeb
The LORD questioned me:
"What are you doing here?"
I didn't have an answer
I couldn't find the words
But then the LORD passed by

(chorus)

The wind that night
Could have torn apart the mountains
And lightning flashed
Like fire in the sky
The thunder roared
And shook the earth's foundations
The rain poured down
To wash away my tears
And my heart of stone
Was shattered in His presence
And in the aftermath of that storm
I heard His voice
Like a whisper

(verse 3)

I am David at Adullam
Running for my life
My courage fails at every turn
I'm in the valley of the shadow
And it's hard to see the light
But I hope in the LORD my God

(chorus)

The wind that night
Could have torn apart the mountains
And lightning flashed
Like fire in the sky
The thunder roared
And shook the earth's foundations
The rain poured down
To wash away my tears
And my heart of stone
Was shattered in His presence
And in the aftermath of that storm
I heard His voice
Like a whisper

(verse 4)

I've been called like Jeremiah
Young and so afraid
His Word a fire in my heart
God is with me like a warrior
He rescues and He saves
And I stand only because

(chorus)

The wind that night
Could have torn apart the mountains
And lightning flashed
Like fire in the sky
The thunder roared
And shook the earth's foundations
The rain poured down
To wash away my tears
And my heart of stone
Was shattered in His presence
And in the aftermath of that storm
I heard His voice
Like a whisper

(finale)

The truth doesn't need to shout
You've got my attention
Though my strength is small
Though I often fall
I am always listening
Listening
To hear your still, small voice
Like a whisper
