His Voice Cries Out

When this world loudly screams at you
And steals away your song
God's gentle voice whispers deep within,
"To Me, My child, you belong."

When you're overwhelmed by the things you've done
And are haunted by your past
A tender voice cries out and shelters you,
"Mine is a love that will last."

When it seems your heart is hardening
And you sense that there's a blindness
Remember the Lord Himself has called you
And drawn you with lovingkindness.

When the hurting is so very real
And the pain seems to touch your soul
Jesus is beckoning so softly,
"Come to Me. I will make you whole."

When the aching inside overwhelms you
And you need a friend who's near
The voice of Heaven keeps on calling out,
"Oh My child, I am here."

When you feel that you're left all alone
And through these tears you can't even see
God's voice still cries out to comfort you,
"My dear child, you are precious to Me."

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me,
saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love:
therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
Jeremiah 31:3
