13 I Hear Your Voice

‘This is the fast that pleases me…to share your bread with the hungry and shelter the homeless poor,’

(Isaiah 58.6-7) ‘Let your hearts be broken, not your garments torn’ (Joel: 2.13)

 

1st capo Em(Fm)

Fm

I hear your voice crying in the darkness

                                                    C7

I hear your voice calling out my name

                    Fm

I hear your voice telling me to wake up

      Bbm          C7              Fm

I served, now you do the same.

Fm

I hear this voice urging me to action,

                                                       C7

I hear this voice calling out my name,

                    Fm

I hear this voice drumming through my heartbeat

   Bbm        C7              Fm

I gave, now you do the same.

 

      Bbm                                             Fm

I don't want your prayers or your protestations

   C7                                        Fm C7  Fm

Don't want your vows or your empty words

          Bbm                               Fm

Don't ask me to bless all your celebrations

       C7                                              Fm bass line

Unless you are living my word.

 

Fm

I hear your voice whisp'ring in our laughter

                                                     C7

I hear your voice shouting in our pain,

                    Fm

I hear your voice telling us to love more

   Bbm          C7              Fm

I cared now you do the same.

 

           Bbm                                Fm

They're no use to me all your proclamations,

            C7                                        Fm C7  Fm

You're wasting your time with your fancy words

       Bbm                       Fm

The sacrifice I want is love in action

              C7                                           Fm bass line

That's when you'll be living my word

 

Fm

I hear your voice telling me you love me

                                                   C7

I hear your voice whispering my name

                    Fm

I hear your voice asking me to follow

    Bbm       C7             Fm

I love, now you do the same …I hear your voice rpt
