I Hear God's Voice

 I hear God's voice in gentle wind

That whispers through the trees

And in the crunchy, rustling sound

Of Autumn's fallen leaves.

In each lilting birdsong ringing,

The cooing of a dove,

In the murmur of a peaceful stream

He tells me of His love.

I hear God's voice when thunder rolls

And in the ocean's roar,

The little waves that gently lap

Along the sandy shore.

In the laughter of little children

Playing in places near

And in each kind word spoken

His voice to me so dear.

When the future path looks dark

And my heart is filled with fear,

It's then I hear Him gently say,

"Be still and know I'm near."

God speaks to me in countless ways

No matter where I trod,

And when I humbly kneel in prayer,

How sweet the voice of God.

~ Kay Hoffman

The voice of the Lord is mighty;

the voice of the Lord is majestic.

Psalm 29:4
