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
