Listening to Life

Are you listening?
Do you hear?
What is your response?
Can you take action?
Each day is a new day
Each moment passes by
The well fills with water
As the rains come down
Voice heard from above
Where did it come from?
Can you determine He calls?
Do you hear His voice at all?
Each lesson is learned
Each weight can be lifted
The shelf splits in half
The books may not fall
For the voice from above
Listening you must do
Direction and discernment
Trust in things new
Hope for knowledge
Hope for your house
Are you listening?
Do you hear?
He speaks to you
He walks with you
A suitcase full of leftovers
A bag no longer needed


Hear Him and take action
Don't respond with a redaction
A turtle slowly makes it
A hare speeds on by
But what is your response?
What is your reaction?
Moments disappear
Time can't stand still
Let go of your umbrella
And let the rain pour upon you
Open your mind
Open your heart
Hear without fear
Remember life is not afar
The rays from the sun flood down
The moon shines bright
As you listen and you hear
Hear the heart of a Father
Speaking words
People bow and pray
Pray not just to pray
Are you listening?
Do you hear?
Pause for a moment of silence
Contemplate the array
Read words of life
Speak words of life
Listen and hear life
Respond with a reaction
Peace you will find
Peace like a deer
Eating grass from a meadow
Not far from here
Look out your window
The door has a new space
As you listen and hear
A new direction takes place
The old way is so near
But new is here to stay
Don't back away

Are you listening?
Do you hear?
Travel at times
Or stay
Words spoken to you
Life made so new
Hope for the next step
Help in your house
Peace is a display
Listen and obey
A whale could not be hollow
A dolphin jumps up high
Are you listening?
Do you hear?
Babies smile for awhile
An open heart you must display
Listen and hear life
Don't fall in disarray
Confide and let go
Open a bouquet
Listen to your Father above
His words for doves
Don't forget to listen to Life
Knowing dismay is locked away
Sit in bed to lay awake
Hear words take place
Just in the right time
In the peaceful passage
Listening and hearing Life
Dedication for on high
On high is where hearing comes
Come to listen
Listening to Life
