A Quiet Sound

I heard a voice

Call out my name

But no one was around

I couldn’t see with human eyes

The one of quiet sound.

I heard a voice

Say “ You are blind”

But I will give you sight

You’re dead in your transgressions

I’ve come to give you life.

How could this be?

I asked myself

It’s dark and I’m alone

Be not afraid – you precious one

I’ve come to lead you home.

May I come in, He said to me

I am the light

The truth, the way

I am the one whom God did send

The wage of sin for you I’ve paid.

What must I do?

I cried aloud

Please tell me – please don’t leave

All you must do He softly said 

Believe in Me, Believe!

I heard a voice 

Call out my name

But no one was around

I couldn’t see with human eyes

The Saviour that I’d found.

I heard a voice 

Say “ You’re my child”

Your sight I have restored

You heard me knocking at your heart.

You’ve opened up the door.

Take up your cross 

And follow me 

Let others see My love

It’s by your fruits that I am known

Now serve the on above.
