I heard a voice call my name...
I looked around.
There was no one there and I had to play
with my friends now, so off I went.
I heard a voice call my name...
I was in the bathroom fixing my hair
for the school dance.
I didn't see anyone, "Mom, did you say something?"
I heard a voice call my name...
I was getting ready to go down
the aisle and get married.
I looked around for the speaker
and then hurried away.
I heard a voice call my name...
Not now, not now, I'm giving birth.
Pant, Pant, Blow...
I'm about to encounter a miracle for the first time.
I heard a voice call my name...
I lay in the hospital bed and
I felt so alone, there was no one there.
Where was that voice coming from?
I heard a voice call my name...
my eyes were closed and in the darkness
I could tell that the voice came from within.
It vibrated deep inside my soul and hung in the quiet air.
It was then I realized that it had always been there.
I felt flushed with the rush of love that enveloped me and
wrapped its arms around me.
I had heard a voice calling my name
and I... I had been too busy with living life
to stop and listen to what He had to say
when He had been trying to tell me He loved me.
I hear a voice call my name
and I raise my face to the sky
and close my eyes as my heart fills
with His warmth and love...
"Yes, Lord, I'm listening..."
