How is it a voice once so familiar
has become a distant memory?
Though even the sound of the faintest whisper
can turn this heart back to Thee.
Why don't I listen as once I did
for the only sound that gives me life?
Why do I try to shout so loud
that I hear only of my doubt and strife?
What makes me afraid to trust in You?
Am I really so scared of what others might say?
Afraid to live the truth I know,
at least when it means I can't choose the way.
Somehow this fearful, prideful heart
has chosen too often the easy way out.
Surrender might be the best choice in the end
but easy it's not, especially now.
Help me to see past today, to the end.
Lord, help me to listen for Your voice once again.
