There’s a thousand distractions in this world
My life is so full of noise
With the million things screaming at me
Lord, how can I hear Your voice
With all the things I’m doing
I never seem to find the time
In the end I loose focus
With so much else on my mind

Help me to learn, Lord teach me to listen
And I’ll finally give up all control
Help me be still, to learn to be quiet
And let Your voice speak to my soul
In the rush of life
Lord, here’s what I was missing
To sit at Your feet
While You teach me to listen

How can I expect You to speak Your heart
If I’m not really listening
And why should You show me what to do
If my heart is unwilling
Oh, how can I live for You
With this inconsistent heart
God, help me to obey You
Don’t let me keep us apart

Help me to learn, Lord teach me to listen
And I’ll finally give up all control
Help me be still, to learn to be quiet
And let Your voice speak to my soul
In the rush of life
Lord, here’s what I was missing
To sit at Your feet
While You teach me to listen

By Your grace I commit myself to
Doing all You ever ask me to do
In Your love, You have called my name
And I know You’re still calling just the same

Help me to learn, Lord teach me to listen
And I’ll finally give up all control
Help me be still, to learn to be quiet
And let Your voice speak to my soul
In the rush of life
Lord, here’s what I was missing
To sit at Your feet
While You teach me to listen

Help me to learn, Lord teach me to listen
And I’ll finally give up all control
Help me be still, to learn to be quiet
And let Your voice speak to my soul....These words touched my heart. Thank for sharing this beautiful heartfelt song. Continue writing for His glory. God bless you.

I love it. Oh, the joy that comes after we listen to our God, for He is the only God who can answer us. He is the only God who can talk back to us. God bless you for sharing this.
