A very special song to me is "I Will Listen" by Twila Paris, on her "Where I Stand" album.... actually the album title comes from the song. I would love to know the circumstances that led Twila to write the song, but then again, by not knowing, I can apply it to many situations in my own life.
I've been singing the last verse in my head this week, due to some things that are going on. I'm trying to discern the truth of the situation and what my proper response should be. I'm pretty sure the situation the song is based on is a negative one, yet I've been singing this verse as a hopeful prayer of inklings of positive things to come. The first and second line are my favorite.
Here's the last verse:
Could it be that He is only waiting there to see
If I will learn to dream the dreams that He has dreamed for me?
Can't imagine what the future holds, but I've already made my choice
And this is where I stand until He moves me on
And I will listen to His voice
God is faithful, why do we doubt Him?
