Please Speak Up

That still quiet voice

That leads me to you

Better speak up

 If it’s to get through.

My world is too busy

To hear a small voice,

It has to be loud

To cut through the noise,

There’s work and worry

And all of the bills.

I have to handle

Too many folk’s ills.

I’m too overwhelmed

To hear quiet words

And just sitting still,

Well, that’s for the birds!

And though I know I

Should listen to you,

You’ll have to speak up,

A small voice won’t do!

1Kings 19: 11-12

11And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:

12And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
