Should I ever get discouraged feeling I have lost my way
I just listen for the whisper that will never let me stray
If I'm feeling tired and weary not remembering my strength
I just listen for the whisper and I know help's on the way.
Chorus:
I listen in the silence and guidance I perceive
I listen in the silence knowing wisdom I'll receive
I listen in the silence and guidance I perceive
I just listen in the silence knowing wisdom I'll receive
If I've lost my inspiration due to burdens I take on
If my dreams don't seem to flourish can't remember my heart song
If my energy is failing and I feel I can't go on.
I just listen for the whisper that will guide me safely home.
Chorus:
Bridge: Ooooh
Coda:
There is no need to worry that will only make us deaf
to the sweet and gentle whisper that will comfort and will bless.
