I Heard Him Say
by
Dena Larson
When He called I heard Him,
I listened to Him say
Child you have wandered
Let Me help you find your way.
I smiled for His kindness.
I thanked Him with a prayer
And when I turned my back
From His heart did draw a tear
I love you child I heard Him say
And He held out his hand as I looked away.
Church came so early,
I didn't need to go,
What could the Pastor say
That I didn't already know?
Child can you hear me?
You never read My Word,
Later! I called
As I rushed off to work.
You are not alone
I could still hear Him say,
While at a party with friends
I wished He'd go away.
Sorry for leaving,
Sorry I forgot.
But Lord I had a life to live
And for You, time I had not.
I want you to know Me,
I heard Him say,
But I do I told Him
As I ran away.
My heart is lonely
I don't know why,
I can't hear the voice,
I feel the need to cry.
Where did it go?
Which shelf is it on?
If only I knew, maybe
I could go on.
On my knees I fell,
Crying to hear.
And in that sweet voice
He answered my prayer.
I never left you child,
Although you pushed away.
Now take My Hand
And again I'll lead the way.
