God's VOICE

I’m here waiting, listening, eager

I anticipate it, long for it; desire it with all my heart

My heart beats swiftly 

My lips cannot help but smile as I wait

Waiting is not hard

When you know what you are waiting for

I know that it will come and soon

For it never tarries, it’s never delayed

Then in the stillness I hear it

HIS VOICE

He speaks and His words are like fire,

Burning out the unholy

I didn’t know how dirty I was

Until He spoke and I saw myself

And fell on my knees and wept

For I am a man of unclean lips

And I dwell in the midst of people who are also unclean

He speaks and his words are like rain

Falling upon a parched dry land

I didn’t know I was dry

Until His voice washes over me

And I am quenched

He speaks and his words are like oil

Soothing away the pain, the hurt, the sadness

I didn’t know I was hurt

Until his voice soothed away pains

That had woven its way into my very character.

His words are like fire – burning

His words are like rain – quenching  

His words are like oil – soothing

I’m here waiting, listening eager once more…..
