Voices! I Hear A Voice...And So I Cry

These voices deep within my mind

Sometimes are not so very kind

They leave me tired, full of despair

Like no one's near, and no one cares

Yet, here I am still fighting on

The fear, the pain, sometimes is gone

But then returns to haunt again

I soon forget where I have been

Stop! I scream, just stay away

Leave me alone, you'll rue the day

When first you came and entered in

My mind, my heart and soul, and then

You twisted thoughts, and pulled me down

And warned me not to turn around

You said, I'd pay, I'd die for sure

For hearts like mine there was no cure

I full believed, but was deceived

With all your lies, it was perceived

That I was all alone and scared

That I was lost and no one cared

But then I heard that someone died

Laid down their life, it made me cry

To think that I was not alone

The greatest gift I could be shown

And now the voice that floods my heart

I know that it will not depart

For that a man would die for me

Has opened up my eyes to see

There is no greater love than this

To think what I would have to miss

If I had not been told of One

Who showed me that I wasn't done

Who showed me that the voice I heard

Who told me that I had no worth

Was but an evil trick to scare

And try to keep me unaware

Of God the Father, God the Son

The Holy Ghost, all three in one

Who loves me just the way I am

With all my faults, they take me in

They share their voice for me to hear, That they will always keep me near

As long as I will make the choice, To clear my mind and hear their voice

And so, I pray that I will be, Able to make them always see

That I will always put them first, That they will always quench my thirst

And so I'm ever grateful for, The voice I hear, and so I poor

My heart, my mind, by body, and soul, Out to the One that makes me whole

My joy is real, His voice I hear, My heart is full, I know He's near

I'm overwhelmed with gratitude, For knowing that He made me new

I Hear A Voice...And So I Cry
