I can hear the people
I hear the ideas they love
I can hear preachers, the pleas of their seekers
The message of heroes and proclamation of kings
I hear the messages
I hear the debate
I hear all the love songs
I hear all the promises
I hear music that dreamers create
I won’t take advice from cynics
I won’t listen to the word of fools
Sure, everyone has their own take
On what I should do, but…
I will follow Your voice
I will follow Your voice
I will trust Your choice
I will not fear
I will follow Your voice
I will follow Your voice
Not my will but Yours
Be done here…
I can hear the questions
With answers that breed doubt
The spiritual poison of hecklers and demons
Who whisper in corners hoping for a sell-out
I can feel the pressure
To filter everything I say
To sit down in silence
Put up with injustice and turn the other way
I hear about a war
I lose with tragic force
I hear I’m going down
I’m headed for the ground
I hear I should panic
I should be afraid
I hear through all the noise
A still and steady voice say, “wait”
With every channel on
We don’t know where we belong
Help me to hear Your voice
Above all the other noise
Behind the Song:
"There are millions of opinions floating around out there about how to live life—what success is; how to spend my time, my money; how to use my platform; how to write a song. When I wrote this song, originally the lyric was, “I won't fight for my voice.” This song is a recommitment of trust. Trusting that by following God's plan for my life, I'm not missing out on anything." - Jason Germain (downhere)
