[Intro]
D7 G
D G When I was fresh, from God, D G the first thing I heard as I came into this life, D G D the sound of fear, ringing in my ear my own voice, G as life hit me and I cried, D As I grew through the years, G the chorus of temptation, D G beckoned me to come and sing apart, D But Jesus was his name, G that broke from my mamaw's tongue, C and settled in my heart
[Chorus]
Am D And what I'm listening for, through all the noise, Am D C a whisper in my ear, the shepherd's voice.
[Verse 2]
D G The confusion that the bustle brings, the pretty song the siren sings, D G The sound of teeth against forbidden fruit, D G A fallen man who screams in pain, a groaning earth beneath the strain D C Who could hope to ever hear the truth,
[Chorus]
Am D And what I'm listening for, through all the noise, Am D C A whisper in my ear, the shepherd's voice.
[Verse 3]
D G D When I am tired and I am weary, of this life and I am done D G C I will close my eyes, and let my spirit still, till I hear the Son
[Chorus]
Am D C And what I'm listening for, through all the noise, Am D C a whisper in my ear, the shepherd's voice. Am D C And what I'm listening for, through all the noise, Am D F a whisper in my ear, the shepherd's voice.
