Listen To Him

MP3 Music Playlist: 
1) Lord, you hold the oceans in your hand     
You numbered every grain of sand                        
Let us be still  and listen to your voice
And live in you and rejoice

2) Behold our God you are love and truth
Now we come to adore you
Behold our King, who died for all our sins 
Our joy is to adore you

3) In this time of endless choices
Of so much noise and so many voices
Of false accusations and verbal violence
Your spirit leads us to holy silence

REFRAIN
Your voice is one of divine peace
Of Love that’ll - never cease
God you are holy Three in One divine
We give you thanks  and praise

4) In these days of rising cost
And most think there’re their own boss
Of comfort and speed that are bought
Most highly  prized and most sought
 
5) Who has given counsel to you, O Lord?
Who can question any of your words?
Your word dear Father is Spirit and Life
In you we live in joy and  delight

REFRAIN

6) In this time of endless choices
Of so much noise and so many voices
Of false accusations and verbal violence
Your spirit leads us to holy silence

REFRAIN

Consistency in point of view or "person"

Ron, thanks for sharing your song.

Here is a suggestion to improve your lyrics. Be consistent when speaking to or about God. For example, in the first verse you switch from you (second person) to him (third person):

1) Lord, you hold the oceans in your hand     
You numbered every grain of sand                        
Let us be still and listen to his voice
And live in him and rejoice

I recommend this instead (which you should then carry throughout the song):

1) Lord, you hold the oceans in your hand     
You numbered every grain of sand                        
Let us be still and listen to your voice
And live in you and rejoice

Blessings

Thanks

Your suggestion is well taken. I will make the changes throughout the song

Changing to you and your

Verse 2 is a challenge! But it will improve the song if we keep singing to God instead of about him.

2) Behold our God who is truth and love
Come let us adore Him
Behold our King, who died for all our sins 
Come let us adore Him

could be something like this:


2) We behold you, God. You are truth and love

We come now to adore you
We behold you as King. You died for all our sins 
We come now to adore you
