We lift up one voice

New poem which came out of sung worship this morning at Westpoint. We all lift up one voice, each one from a different place and life, but we lift up one voice together; and God hears it. Every time.

We lift up one voice

To you we lift up one voice
One bold, strong and confident voice
One weak, cold and hesitant voice
One tear-racked, heart-felt voice
One hurting, dry and empty voice
One shuddering and faltering voice,
One joyful, light and airy voice
One deadened, mute and word-lost voice
One freshened, bright-eyed, wonderous voice
One calm, knowing and assured voice
One hardened, slow and doubting voice
One honest, sad, defeated voice
One fresh reminded, grace-touched voice
One world-forgetting, son-seeing voice
One dark-dispersed hope restored voice
One past-forgotten, adopted voice
One voice that shouts
One voice that whispers
One voice that cries
One voice that silently mouths
Together, we lift up one voice
Because he hears
Because he listens
Because he cares
Because we are His
