Still, Small Voice

lyrics

(1 Kings 19:1-15)

So, in my confusion,
I stumble through the desert
pining for a signal
that you’re close and you are there.
I seek out the familiar -
those high and holy places.
In a daze I seek you.
Will you come like you did then?

But the wind split the rocks above
and the mighty earthquake tore the ground…

So, I climb Mount Horeb,
where you burned a bush for Moses.
Upon the ground of Sinai
I am haunted by those tales.
I figured if I revisit
those old, familiar places
the God of the heavens
might show up like he did then.

But the wind split the rocks above
and the mighty earthquake tore the ground…

Like a fool devising,
I thought I could control you:
conjure up your presence
like puppet on a string.
As if the Most High
could be captured in a museum!
Is he not the Lord of
every place and every thing?

And the wind split the rocks above
and the mighty earthquake tore the ground…

It’s easy to build a shrine
at the last place or the last time
God showed up in your life,
like an altar of your own vain design.
But God cannot be controlled,
nor limited by a manmade mould.
But, the one with a voice still and small,
he will come and speak again.

For the wind split the rocks above.
And the mighty earthquake shook the ground.
And the fire blazed ....

But Lord spoke in a still, small voice.

In the silence came his voice.
