you’re gonna feel a lot of hurt
you’re gonna fight a lot of battles
the world will tell you what to read and what to write
this world may seem to lack the light
but there’s a choice in front of you
whose voice will you listen to?
don’t let the noise of the world
drown out the voice of the Lord
don’t let the pain of this world
harden your ears and your heart
because God is the God who wants to tell you
you are loved.
this is the voice of the Lord
this is the message of God
a letter of love to the world
of hope and joy that comes
as he’s telling you
you are mine
you are known
you have value
you were born
to soar
you are made
in my image
you are made
with a purpose
you are made
for so much more
so there’s a choice in front of you
whose voice will you listen to?
don’t let the noise of the world
drown out the voice of the Lord
don’t let the pain of this world
harden your ears and your heart
because God is the God who wants to tell you
you are loved.
