Listen - Jesse Jorgensen

Listen.

In our world of rush and busy, do you take the time to listen? There are so many books written about this, so many sermons preached.

But if I'm honest, do I listen? When I take time with God, do I really listen? Can I hear his voice? Or do I "do my time" reading the Bible (nothing wrong with that) and talking at God... as I read am I actually listening for God speaking to me through His word? As I pray am I taking the time in the conversation to listen to Him? Or, let's be real, am I actually just falling asleep and not paying attention. Am I too busy asking Him for what I want that I don't hear what he is saying to me.

Because He's coming. Do you hear Him?


Would this world be an empty tomb
Called by you to life anew
But our bones die here among the stones
Memories of a Garden gone,
Linger in our minds so strong
But nothing grows here among the thorns

But if you listen you can hear Him coming
And if you listen you can hear His voice
But if you listen you can hear Him coming
And if you listen you can hear His voice

Wonder would surround the birth
Few would recognize His worth
Born in a stable far from home
Riding into Jerusalem
Surely He would save us then
But not through earthly wars or worldly thrones

But if you listen you can hear Him coming
And if you listen you can hear His voice
But if you listen you can hear Him coming
And if you listen you can hear His voice

Oh the one betrayed him

Oh how they nailed him to that cross

How he gave his life away

The thorns of earth heavy on his brow

In the tomb cut from stone

They laid his lifeless body down

But if you listen you can hear Him coming
And if you listen you can hear His voice
But if you listen you can hear Him coming
And if you listen you can hear His voice

Life is yours

You have risen from the grave

Death is dead You lead its captives in your way

But if you listen you can hear Him coming
And if you listen you can hear His voice

But if you listen you can hear Him coming
And if you listen you can hear His voice
