shepherd's voice

when i was fresh from god

the first thing i heard

as i came into this life

the sound of fear ringin' in my ear

my own voice

as life hit me and i cried

as i grew through the years

the chorus of temptation

beckoned me to come and sing a part

but jesus was the name

that rolled from my mama's tongue

and settled in my heart

now what i'm listening for

through all the noise

a whisper in my ear

the shepherd's voice

the confusion that bustle brings

the pretty song the siren sings

the sound of thief against forbidden fruit

a fallen man who screams in pain

a groaning earth beneath the strain

who could hope to ever hear the truth?

oh

what i'm listening for

through all the noise

a whisper in my ear

the shepherd's voice

when i am tired

and i am weary

of this life and i am done

i will close my eyes

and let my spirit still

until i hear the son

yeah

what i'm listening for

through all the noise

a whisper in my ear

the shepherd's voice

and what i'm listening for

through all the noise

a whisper in my ear

the shepherd's voice
