"I Hear the Voice of God"

-Mark Mayhue

I strain to hear the voice of God
As I sit in silent prayer
Sitting by the water's edge
Enjoying the clean, crisp air
I ask the LORD to speak to me
And wait for His response
But then there's only silence
It seems like God is gone
Then I hear the water
As the ripples meet the shore
A constant, soothing, gentle sound
That's relaxing all the more
I listen to the gentle wind
As it rustles through the trees
It brings a sense of peacefulness
As I feel its cooling breeze
I hear birds singing joyfully
But, why do I feel so odd
Then finally it occurs to me
I'm hearing the voice of God
I hear Him speaking peace and rest
Through the water, wind and birds
Now I'm assured I've heard His voice
Though He never spoke a word
