The Sound

There is a sound that the Father wants us to hear
It is the sound of joy, the sound of happiness, the sound of laughter
That comes straight from His heart, His being, His mouth to mine...

The Father wants me to hear His delight.
He wants me to hear the song of joy He is singing...
Singing to me,
The song He is singing about His delight and pleasure that He finds in me...
His song shouts His desire to bless abundantly, protect entirely, and provide profusely.
Yes, His song sings of His goodness...

If I could hear this song
And believe the words...were really about me...today...at this moment
If I could hear them in the storm and chaos of life...
How different my thoughts would be,
How great my praise, my laughter,
How free I would be of those intruders of anxiety, worry, frustration and offense.

Holy Spirit,
Give me ears to hear this sound
And a heart that believes it as Truth.

Yes, Father,
When my eyes are on your beautiful face
And my ears are tuned in to hear your voice,
The happy sound begins to sing...
