The Voice of the Spirit

Words and music by Janice Kapp Perry

1. Oh God, my Eternal Father, I long to see Thy face,
But a veil was drawn between us, that I might live by faith.
And yet I’m very certain I do not walk alone,
For when I seek Thee humbly, Thy wisdom is made known.
The voice of the Spirit comes so quietly,
And deep inside of me it speaks Thy will.
The voice of the Spirit comes as light to me,
Gently reminding me of all that’s real—

A gentle voice, so still, so small,
A voice that hardly can be heard at all,
A voice so clear to me,
A voice that pierces me to my soul.

2. Oh God, my Eternal Father, I long to hear Thy voice,
But I left Thy loving presence and came to earth by choice.
And yet I feel Thy guidance each time I kneel to pray.
Thy kind and caring Spirit illuminates my way.
The voice of the Spirit is so sweet to me;
It whispers peace to me thru thoughts divine.
The voice of the Spirit is so real to me.
Truth is revealed to me in heart and mind—

A gentle voice, so still, so small,
A voice that hardly can be heard at all,
A voice so clear to me,
A voice that pierces me to my soul.
The voice of the Spirit is so sweet to me,
A voice that teaches me all Thou would have me know.
