VOICES

A silent voice murmuring, “Try once more”
But an overwhelming fear yells out, “no more”
Persuading, encouraging, “push a little more” said the voice
But discouragement argues, “you are pushing against the wall”

The voice then again said, “there is always another chance”
But disappointment screams, “it’ll happen again”
Persistently, insistently, from the voice “each day is a new beginning”
But ego and pride disputes, “It is always the same”

The voice a bit more loudly said, “I am with you”
And loneliness responded, “you are left behind”
Lovingly and tenderly, the voice said “You are not alone”
But cynicism argued, “You are on your own”

That final statement reminded me… of my real identity
Victorious I am made by my Father in Heaven
The Blood of Christ poured out for me
Among the voices, I heard clearly the Authority

To try once more, push a little more,
There is always another chance, each day is a new beginning
I am with you, You are not alone
“God is with me, on this battle, He will guide me to destiny.
