VOICES

Snippet

“A choir is made up of many voices, including yours and mine. If one by one all go silent then all that will be left are the soloists.Don’t let a loud few determine the nature of the sound. It makes for poor harmony and diminishes the song.” ― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

Scripture              

“I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, 15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd. John 10:14-16 NLT

"Voices" by Chris Young

You could say I'm a little bit crazy

You could call me insane

Walkin' 'round with all these whispers

Runnin' 'round here in my brain

I just can't help but hear 'em

Man, I can't avoid it

I hear voices

I hear voices like

My dad sayin', "Work that job

But don't work your life away"

And mama tellin' me to drop some cash

In the offerin' plate on Sunday

And granddad sayin', "You can have a few

But don't ever cross that line"

Yeah, I hear voices all the time

Turns out I'm pretty dang lucky

For all that good advice

Those hard-to-find words of wisdom

Holed up here in my mind

And just when I've lost my way

Or I've got too many choices

I hear voices

I hear voices like

My dad sayin', "Quit that team

And you'd be a quitter for the rest of your life"

And mama tellin' me to say a prayer

Every time I lay down at night

And grandma sayin', "If you find the one

You better treat her right"

Yeah, I hear voices all the time

Sometimes I try to ignore 'em

But I thank God for 'em

'Cause they made me who I am

My dad sayin', "Work that job

But don't work your life away"

And mama tellin' me to drop some cash

In the offerin' plate on Sunday

And granddad sayin', "You can have a few

But don't ever cross that line"

Yeah, I hear voices all the time

Yeah, I hear voices all the time

All the time

Sentence Prayer

Give us a pure heart

That we may see Thee,

A humble heart that we may

Hear Thee,

A heart of love that we may,

 serve thee

A heart of love that we may,

Love Thee.  Amen  Dag Hammarskjold
