Many years ago, in middle school when the world was a much simpler place, I first heard this song and it resonated deep within my heart. This song stirred up a passion within me. A longing. A calling to become a part of something bigger than myself. The Voice beckoned me to come closer, closer to the truth, and to run from the lies. The Voice overwhelmed me with desire to stand against injustice, to do something, to fight back.
A Voice Calling Out – By Bethany Dillon
I hear a voice in this wilderness
Where darkness has reigned for so long
Ground is being taken
The trumpet sounds
And Your glory touches the ground
And we all stand in awe
Who is this?
This glory far beyond us
I hear a voice.
I hear a drum beating
heaven’s drawing near
The sky will open
Your people are being healed
I hear a voice
[chorus:]
Heaven’s battle cry
Rise
See the sun light what was hidden
Heaven’s heart beat
See it moving
What was a whisper is now
A voice calling out
I see a generation rising up
No longer accepting lies
Running to the battlefield
And losing their lives
I see a generation rising up
No longer accepting lies
As a band of worshipers run to the battlefield
They’re finding their lives
I hear a voice
Do you hear The Voice?
