I listened
Hoping to hear His voice
Quietly waiting for His direction

I heard the voices of this world
Roaring like a mighty wind
But God was not speaking through them

I heard the sound of battles in foreign lands
Shaking the earth and all its people
But God was not speaking through them

I heard loud preachers and evangelists
With fire in their voices they preached the word
But God’s direction for me was not in their words

So I settled down to sleep
Quiet and peaceful
And then I heard His voice
Still and small, giving me direction
