Natalie Grant's song 'Whisper' explores the human tendency to seek dramatic signs from God while overlooking His quiet, gentle guidance. The lyrics contrast the desire for lightning and thunder with the reality of God's still, small voice. Grant admits to being distracted by noise and busyness, yet acknowledges the need to trust and listen. The song encourages believers to slow down, pray, and wait on God, recognizing that His direction often comes softly. It's a reflective piece about faith, surrender, and learning to hear God's whisper in everyday life.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Always looking for a sign
A burning bush, a flash of light
To show me what to do
A voice coming from the clouds
That'll knock me to the ground
So there's no doubt it's You
You calling my name
You pointing the way
So I don't have to choose
There's no need to pray
I don't want to wait on You
I'm always looking for the lightning
For the thunder crashing down
I'm always wanting easy answers
Wanna hear You speak out loud
I keep wanting something bigger
Sometimes I miss Your whisper
I don't ever slow it down
Stop the wheels from going 'round
Can't hear You through the noise
You'd think I would learn
To take You at Your word
And know Your still small voice
Calling my name
Pointing the way
One step at a time
I know I should pray
I know I should wait on You
But I'm always looking for the lightning
For the thunder crashing down
I'm always wanting easy answers
Wanna hear You speak out loud
I keep wanting something bigger
Sometimes I miss Your whisper
It isn't always obvious
Sometimes I gotta learn to trust
Let it go and listen up
I don't wanna miss Your whisper
I'm always looking for the lightning
For the thunder crashing down
I'm always wanting easy answers
Wanna hear You speak out loud
I keep wanting something bigger
Sometimes I miss Your whisper
I don't wanna miss Your whisper
