The counsel of God often comes to us in gentle whispers.
Never intrusive, never obtrusive,
Always leaves a moment for reflection and choice.
When I needed clarity of direction,
When I needed clarity of direction,
She would always be there to provide a gentle whisper.
Sometimes the obvious need not be the best
And the best need not be the obvious
However, it was those whispers that kept matters on an even keel.
They protected us from our own impetuosity.
Somehow, they managed to clear a muddled thought,
Provide enough light to take a step,
Little by little, moment by moment
Eventually we would find the way.
Comfort or assurance,
Counsel or rebuke,
It was always done in gentle whispers.
Looking back, I guess they must have been
The whispers of God.
Sometimes the obvious need not be the best
And the best need not be the obvious
However, it was those whispers that kept matters on an even keel.
They protected us from our own impetuosity.
Somehow, they managed to clear a muddled thought,
Provide enough light to take a step,
Little by little, moment by moment
Eventually we would find the way.
Comfort or assurance,
Counsel or rebuke,
It was always done in gentle whispers.
Looking back, I guess they must have been
The whispers of God.
