A God-Given Sound

What is your true voice

Meant to rise above the noise

Is it just another sound

That will add to the crowd?

With love we must speak

Truth fully complete

As every single person

Was created unique

Within each human I see

Storehouses untouched

Lacking confidence to be

This light to the world

That I already see

Let your beauty shine out

With your God-given sound

And silence the din

Of the bickering crowd

What’s the sound of your voice

Let it rise above the noise

It can be written or spoken

A song, story or poem

Perhaps it is a movement

That is wordless in sound

But reaches into hearts

With your dancing around

Perhaps with your hands

Will you fulfill God’s plan

Don’t doubt your potential

For I believe that you can

Were you born for the stage

Or righteous cause to wage

Or maybe with children

you were meant to engage

Whatever your sound

It is meant to be found

Awaken to His call

And display His renown

Do nations make you groan

With a longing to roam

And set free the captives

Within lands still unknown

Do you love through your lips

And the extravagant gift

Or do you burn to rise up

With a heart fully equipped

So let your voice be found

In that God-given sound

To silence the din

Of the bickering crowd

Will you bind together

As one and stand tall

Be the strength for the broken

The one feeling so small

To the fathers and mothers

My sisters and brothers

Let one people unite

And your hearts discover

That He gave you a voice

To rise above the noise

Of the bickering crowd

With your God-given sound
