Tenth Avenue North's 'Gentle Whisper' is a reflective worship song about longing to hear God's voice in quiet, intimate moments rather than in dramatic displays of power. The lyrics draw on the biblical account of Elijah, where God speaks not in the fire or earthquake but in a gentle whisper. The song expresses a deep desire for closeness with God, acknowledging human weakness and sin while trusting that He comes softly when we call. It emphasizes the comfort and peace found in God's presence, even when it fades, and the hope of hearing Him again.

Its so cold and dark
And damp on this mountain side
In you in you alone
I long long to confide
Cause even tho I've seen you set ablaze
That alter that's soaken wet
Still I long just to hear you in
The voice I haven't heard yet
Not in the fire lord or in the earthquake
My soul shakes for you
When I humbly called your name
How you softly came
Yeah.. in a gentle whisper
I sit amazed and broken
As the breaze comes and cools my face
Sweet harmony's of the wind pulls me in
And they let me know your in this place
But the breeze soon fades away with the night
Leaving me alone in my sin
Oh I know I could follow you
If I could just hear your voice one more time again
Not in the fire lord or in the earthquake
My soul shakes for you
When I humbly called your name
How you softly came
Yeah.. in a gentle whisper
Tear stains on your face
Blood stains on your brow
Wrestle in their fashion for the sould of man
When will they hear you
Not in the fire lord or in the earthquake
My soul shakes for you
When I humbly called your name
How you softly came
Yeah.. in a gentle whisper
[repeat]
