Still Small Voice

there was a hurricane and a firestorm
it was terrible and awesome to behold
there was an earthquake and the mountain fell
then a silence that was greater than them all
and god was in that still small voice

there was nation strong with a firestorm
it was terrible and awesome to behold
there was the sound of bombs, then the city fell
then a silence that was greater than them all
and god was in that still small voice

when my heart is low and my eyes cast down
and i am occupied by simpler things
come to me and make me whole
so i can be that still small voice

there was a child born in an alleyway
it was terrible and awesome to behold
there were city sounds and the snow fell
then a silence that was greater than them all
and god was in that still small voice

when my heart is low and my eyes cast down
and i am occupied by simpler things
come to me and make me whole
so i can be that still small voice
so i can be that still small voice
