Every year my dorm – McMillian Hall (Mac Hall) put on a concert at Cowles auditorium. The biggest stage venue at Whitworth University. I auditioned and was accepted to perform this song with a band. We practiced a lot and finally performed at the event. I was really nervous but it turned out fine. I didn’t know then, but listening to God has become a hallmark of my counseling ministry.
1st Verse
We talk to each other
We take talk off the shelves
We talk in our sleep
We talk to ourselves
Surprised by the quiet
When we cut through the noise
When we cut out the static
We can hear His voice
Chorus:
Listen to Him just listen
Listen
Listen to Him
Why don’t we listen?
2nd Verse
Listen and do
They got no divorce
When we separate ’em
They lose their force
The dance of obedience
Sure is sweet
‘Cause when we listen to Him
It moves our feet
Chorus
3rd Verse
Out of the highchair
And into the seat
Toss out the bottle
Get ready to eat
Pick up the knife
And slice up the word
There’s nothing more filling
Haven’t you heard?
Chorus & End
