Ricky Skaggs - Shepherd's Voice lyrics

When I was fresh from God The first thing I heard As I came into this life The sound of fear ringin' in my ear My own voice As life hit me and I cried As I grew through the years The chorus of temptation Beckoned me to come and sing a part But Jesus was the name That rolled from my mama's tongue And settled in my heart Now what I'm listening for Through all the noise A whisper in my ear The Shepherd's voice The confusion that bustle brings The pretty song the siren sings The sound of thief against forbidden fruit A fallen man who screams in pain A groaning earth beneath the strain Who could hope to ever hear the truth? Oh, what I'm listening for Through all the noise A whisper in my ear The Shepherd's voice When I am tired And I am weary Of this life and I am done I will close my eyes And let my spirit still Until I hear the Son Yeah, what I'm listening for Through all the noise A whisper in my ear The Shepherd's voice And what I'm listening for Through all the noise A whisper in my ear The Shepherd's voice
