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.

I hear a voice calling out 

 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
