Lyrics
ANY KIND OF SONG
Why can?t we hear how the Lord filled our voices with singing?
Why can?t we hear how the songs continue on and on,
to touch the clouds till all songs fill the air with thanksgiving
and enter into his courts, oh his courts, with praise?
Chorus
Don?t fear the voice of the Lord, just give in and you won?t fly apart.
You can hear God?s voice in any kind of song if you only open up your heart.
Sing in the voice of the Lord.
Sing to him joyfully.
Play in the voice of the Lord.
Roll in the voice of the Lord.
Why must we turn our lonely ears from the songs of our children?
Why be afraid of the noise and rumble they raise?
Why can?t we hear how that noise moves to God with thanksgiving,
and fills the air with the beauty and truth of his praise?
(Repeat Chorus)
You can hear God?s voice in any kind of song if you open up your heart.
Hear the voice, don?t you hear the voice, can?t you hear?
I hear the voice of the Lord.
Alleluia.
Amen.
