I USED TO BE RIGHT SCARED OF GOD
SO I HID BENEATH THAT STONE
THAT WIND WOULD WHISTLE, RAGE, AND ROLL
AND SOMETIMES WAIL AND MOAN
SOMETIMES I UNDERSTOOD HIS WORDS
ALTHOUGH THEY GAVE A SCARE
AND I FOUND IT KINDA HARD
WITH ALL THAT THUNDER IN THE AIR

I FOUND THAT IF I LISTENED
WHEN THE SKY WAS CALM AND CLEAR
THE GOOD LORD’S VOICE SO SOFT AND STILL
WAS EASIER TO HEAR
SO IF YOU WANNA HEAR HIS VOICE
HERE’S WHAT YOU OUGHTA DO
FIND YOURSELF A QUIET PLACE
AND LET HIM SPEAK TO YOU

ELIJAH HID DOWN IN A CAVE
HIS SITUATION DIRE
HE COULDN’T HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD
IN WIND NOR QUAKE NOR FIRE
BUT WHEN THAT WIND AND QUAKE AND FIRE WERE DONE
ELIJAH FOUND
THE VOICE OF GOD HE HEARD
WAS LIKE A GENTLE, WHISPERED SOUND

YOU’LL FIND THAT IF YOU LISTEN
WHEN THE SKY IS CALM AND CLEAR
THE GOOD LORD’S VOICE SO SOFT AND STILL
IS EASIER TO HEAR
SO IF YOU WANNA HEAR HIS VOICE
HERE’S WHAT YOU OUGHTA DO
FIND YOURSELF A QUIET PLACE
AND LET HIM SPEAK TO YOU
