Hear the Voice of the LORD

Hear the Voice of the Lord

 

Time is God’s stage – His point of view.
Don’t harden your heart as some do
supposing God will wait for you.
He knows ahead who will be true.
     Hear the voice of the LORD, right now!
Though all around us wear a frown,
come let us worship and bow down
to the King worthy of His crown.
     Heed His message and keep your vow.

We’re chosen to give the LORD praise
to trust in His will and his ways.
Regardless of what others say
or if the devil tempts to stray.
     Hear the voice of the LORD, right now!
We are the sheep of his pasture.
Disbelief can cause disaster -
is Christ honestly your Master?
     Heed His message and keep your vow.

We are the apple of His eye
a jealous God have you and I.
He does not approve or stand by
when we are predisposed to lie.
     Hear the voice of the LORD, right now!
Lying – a habit hard to break
But with God, a change we can make
before time proves our faith –a fake.
     Heed His message and keep your vow.

About the Poet
Growing older with some pains and discomfort, graying hair, glasses, partial plate and hearing aids but with complete assurance of my eternal domain. Saved by choice by Gods free grace by Jesus life, death and resurrection. Born and bred in the Bluegrass State for 24 years, I crossed the Ohio River and became a Hoosier forever thereafter until that time God calls me to my heavenly home. Christian for fifty-five plus years. Church musician and SS teacher for most all of my Wednesdays and Sundays. Public school teacher for thirty-six school terms; retired with a class now of three grandchildren off and on during the week. Wife for half my life to the same superman. Mama to two unique sons. Mother-in-law to a fine daughter; Nana to one darling girl and two handsome guys. God has blessed me abundantly; thank you, Father. God quiets my hackles; God quickens my heart; God quells my hunger. Blessed be His holy name.
