Sound of Your Voice...

Last week, I totally felt like my husband proposed to me again when he said, "will you sing a song with me at church?" You will never completely understand the feelings that stirred in me! He is an amazing singer, and I am not - maybe okay - maybe par. So, for him to ask me to do this was HUGE in my book!

Without hesitation, I said yes. Then, I thought, hmmm, what song does he have in mind. He has recently found a new favorite group, Third Day (contemporary christian). To my surprise, and because deep down he really knew I would jump at the chance to sing with him, he had already purchased the track and the track with the background vocals of a song by this group called "Sound of Your Voice."

After my answer, I quickly told him to remember that I do not sing harmony. You see, I love LOVE to sing, but much like my speaking voice, I am loud, and can only sing lead. He explained to me that the track he purchased was straight from Third Day which meant that the one with the background vocals was the actual song - not some re-recorded stuff like most tracks. He said that all I needed was to listen to and learn the background and everything would be fine.

He loaded it on my phone, and that night, I was up until about 2:00 am listening to it, and praying that God would make a way for me to sing this with my husband. Since then, I have probably practiced it every bit of 500 times alone in my car.

This past weekend was one of Todd's two weekends a month to be at church because of his work schedule. So, as I was cooking lunch, I asked him when he had planned on us singing. He didn't really comment, so I figured he just wasn't ready. Wrong! He burned the track to a CD, and we sang it...in church...together! I really can't judge what we sounded like, and how well it was received (since it was contemporary), but I can say that God was in it, and we were making a joyful noise, and the message of this song is incredible.

Sound of Your Voice

Third Day

I ran away from your love

But you waited for me

Yes you waited for me

And then I heard your song

Singing over me

Singing over me

Now that I hear you, Lord

I want to know you more

I want to know you more

Sing your song for me

Oh there's no greater thing

Than to listen to the sound of your voice

When I hear your song

I want to sing along

And listen to the sound of your voice

The sound of your voice

Lord I am calling your name

And I'm waiting for you

Yes I'm waiting for you

So won't you show me your way

And I will follow you

Yes I will follow you

Now that I hear you Lord

I want to know you more

I want to know you more

Sing your song for me

Oh there's no greater thing

Than to listen to the sound of your voice

When I hear your song

I want to sing along

And listen to the sound of your voice

Singing over me

Bringing peace and mercy

With a song that never ends

Singing over me

Marvelous and Holy

Lord I want to hear your song again

Sing your song for me

Oh there's no greater thing

Than to listen to the sound of your voice

When I hear your song

I want to sing along

And listen to the sound of your voice

Wow! Isn't that the truth? We all need to slow down a little and listen to His voice. That sweet, sweet voice that it is. If we would all do that more often, maybe we would find some peace and mercy in our lives!

~Thank you Todd for allowing me to stand by your side and sing this awesome song with you. I love you!
