There�??s a mockingbird singing outside my window
There�??s a little girl calling my name
And I hear Your voice
It�??s the sound of Your voice
There�??s a gentle breeze whispering
Stories and secrets through the branches of the old willow tree
And I hear Your voice
It�??s the sound of Your voice
God, You know how much I wish I could just hear You say the words
And answer all the questions everybody�??s asking
But until I hear You speak
Will You help me hear the songs You�??re singing over all this noise
I will be listening for the sound of Your voice
There�??s a little boy�??s eyes looking up from a postcard
He�??s asking �??Will you show me love�?�
And I hear Your voice
I hear the sound of Your voice
There�??s a woman who�??s crying �??cause her hope is dying
And a friend whispers �??You are not alone�?�
And I hear Your voice
I hear the sound of Your voice
God, You know how much I wish I could just hear You say the words
And answer all the questions everybody�??s asking
But until I hear You speak
Will You help me hear the songs You�??re singing over all this noise
I will be listening for the sound of Your voice
I will be listening for the sound of Your voice
I will be listening for the sound of Your voice
And I�??ll close my eyes for a moment
When I open them again
You�??ll be standing there face to face
And I�??ll sing for joy
And I will finally hear Your voice
I will be listening for the sound of Your voice
I�??ll be listening
I will be listening
I will listen for the sound of Your voice
With every sunrise You tell me again
How Your mercies are new
How Your love never ends
I will be listening for the sound of Your voice
In the crash of the thunder
In the roar of the waves
I hear Your strong arm calling my name
I will be listening for the sound of Your voice
The sound of Your voice
I am listening
I am listening
