Still Small Voice
Tree63 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is someone speaking - is that You?
Almost believed these truths were truthless
Guess I've been feeling used and useless
Do You really love me like they say You love me?
Then You take my hand and You hold it tight
And You tell me it's all going to be all right
It's a still small voice and it draws me near...
Didn't You rage through the fields
Consuming every enemy?
Is there one as strong and mighty
Who with one word, commands as gently?
Holy God, I fear You - do You want me near You?
The lyrics to Tree63's "Still Small Voice" speak to a feeling of uncertainty and questioning in one's faith. The singer wonders if they are truly hearing the voice of God, or if they are simply being misled. Through their doubts, they long for a true connection with their faith, and to feel the love that they have been promised. The lines "Did You just tell me what to do? Is someone speaking - is that You?" are a direct plea for guidance and reaffirmation.
The lyrics go on to describe the sensation of God's presence in their life. The physical image of God taking their hand and telling them that everything will be alright is a comforting and powerful one. The "still small voice" that draws the singer in is a reminder that sometimes, God speaks in the softest of whispers. The final lines of the song show the singer's mixed emotions towards God. While they fear the power of their faith, they still long for closeness and communion.
