Still Listening
Third Day's song 'Still Listening' reflects on the mystery of God's ways and the quiet nature of His voice. The narrator admits to having doubts and looking for God in dramatic displays like fire and wind, only to realize that God has been whispering all along. The song expresses humility in not fully understanding God's plans, yet finding peace in trusting that God is enough. It encourages listeners to remain attentive to God's gentle guidance, even when He seems silent or hidden.
There was a time when I thought that I had you
figured out
I told you before and I'll say once more
Now and then I have my doubts
I'll never pretend to know what you are doing
It's true that you move in mysterious ways
I looked for you in
The fire and the wind
But you weren't there as far as I could see
I thought I'd hear you shout
But then I figured it out
That all along you're whispering to me
And I'm still listening
Just when I thought that I had caught a glimpse of
who you are
You taught me a lesson I needed to learn
Right from the very start
I never will be the man that I quite need to be
But that's alright 'cause you're enough for me
