Voices

Our hearts speak
Even when our voices are silent
Our eyes call out
To the world around
Our souls cry out
Even when we whisper
Our voices are the sounds of our lives

Oh what does my voice say
What does the world hear from me
In the silence of despair
Can the voice of my spirit be heard?

I want to shout it to the lonely
I want to sing it to the lost
I want my voice to ring above
The voices of the world

I hear the voices of the hurting
I hear the desperate moans of pain
Oh let my prayers reach to You Lord
As my heart speaks
As my soul cries out
As my praise for You
As my love for You
Overcomes the voice of this world
And clears the air
So I may hear
Your Voice.
