He Listens
I stop and listen
Nobody's around
The noise of nature
Is the only sound
The branches crack
As the animals creep
Everyone around
Is softly asleep
I begin to speak
To myself you might think
But it's He who listens
Without a blink
He listens in silence
And listens clear
As I begin to tell
All of my fears
He does not judge
And doesn't interrupt
Doesn't think I'm crazy
Or the least bit corrupt
Taking in all that I say
He'll lead me the best way He can
The only thing that He will ask
Is that I'm honest
And remain His fan
