You’re still “The still small voice” | And I have made my choice | I open up my heart and listen

Christian Songwriter's Network (christiansongwriters.org) featured song of the month for February, 2008.
My 8 year old daughter was working on memorizing 1 Samuel 3:9 "Speak Lord, for your servant is listening." I started thinking about how simple the idea of listening to God is, yet how amazing it is God wants to speak to us, and what a difference listening and following can make in our lives. This song came in bits and peices over the next couple of weeks. Dedicated to my daughter, her picture accompanies "Listen".

~Verse 1~
Settle down, quiet now
The worries of the day fade
Still my heart, listen now
He’s calling in the wind my name

~Pre-Chorus 1~
Will I hear Him?
Will I know His voice?
Will I ever find a way to truly follow?

~Chorus~
Speak Lord, Your servant listens
Here am I, all for You
Breathe into my life; start anew
You’re still “The still small voice”
And I have made my choice
I open up my heart and listen

~Verse 2~
Take the time, clear the mind
Turn down the noise today; get away
Still my heart, listen now.
He’s calling in the wind my name

~Pre-Chorus 2~
Will I hear You?
Will I know Your voice?
Will I ever find a way to truly follow?

~Bridge~
There will be many voices
But only one is true
And if I want to know who’s speaking
I need to spend some time with You
