87. Listening to God

1 There’s music in my soul today, a music rich and sweet,
Which fills my life with melody and makes my joy complete!
For I have heard the whisper of a voice that speaks to me
Of pardon, which my Lord bestows, and love beyond degree.

Refrain:
I am listening to God!
I am listening to God!
My heart is still, I fear no ill,
I’m listening to God!

2 He tells me of the tender care that guards me night and day;
He tells me of a loving hand that leads me all the way;
He speaks the word of comfort when my heart is sore oppressed,
And whispers of the heav’nly land, where I shall find his rest. [Refrain]

3 He bids me fear no evil thing but trust his watchful care;
He bids me cast on him the load I find too great to bear;
He points me to the better land where burdens are laid down,
And promises that I shall wear in heav’n a victor’s crown. [Refrain]
