The Voice that Calls Me Onward Lyrics

Who laid the foundation of the earth, He spoke and so it was

He measured out the lands and to the waters gave their course

Whose Word was there before it all, Creating and giving life

Leaving angels and the stars astounded

Who covers His hands with lightning and commands the darkness to flee

The winds they hear his call and they go at his decree

By the rain and every downpour, He seals the hands of man

As His voice it thunders through the heavens

At this my heart it trembles and it leaps out of my chest

When I hear the Voice that calls me onward

Who set the running race of time and beyond its grasp, He lives

As He, the Author, notes its beginning and its end

That voice again it echoes in His love for you and I

Do you hear Him speaking in your trial?

Who planted every forest tree and watched as each one rose

From the redwood in its infancy to the seed of the eldest oak

Who's mindful of the plains of grass and the wildflowers there

To the same degree He's mindful of my struggle

At this my heart it trembles and it leaps out of my chest

As I feel the weight of glory come and meet my brokenness

And I count the cost to carry on cause it's worth every step

When I hear the Voice that calls me onward

And day by day, through age to age, His purpose ringing clear

Where darkness covers every heart, His Spirit hovers near

His Voice, it sings and light, it brings to the formless and the void

And His glory will never cease it's shining

At this my heart it trembles and it leaps out of my chest

My sole response is singing Hallelujah
