Still Small Voice
Jena Woods Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The stars are shining,
the night is quiet,
another ending of a day,
the clock is chiming,
the world's unwinding,
so many things I want to say,
and on my knees there in the dark,
I speak the words inside my heart,

and the still small voice,
whispers in the darkness,
speaks a quiet peace to my soul,
I turn off the noise,
and feel his arms around me,
and I know he'll never let me go,
I find thee answers that im searchin' for,
when I listen to the still small voice,

I sit and ponder,
and all is wonder,
and it sets my mind at ease,
I read the pages,
and something changes,
deep inside of me,
and when it's all that's left to do,
I kneel and ask him if its true,

and the still small voice,
whispers in the darkness,
speaks a quiet peace to my soul,
I turn off the noise,
and feel his arms around me,
and I know he'll never let me go,




I find thee comfort that im searchin' for,
when i listen to the still small voice,

This song is just beautiful, eerily beautiful! It's so peaceful & quiet as it invites the Holy Ghost & describes a peaceful night praying in one's room. A great song to relax & feel the Spirit to.
