The Voice of the Shepherd

When I awaken a servant of mine
with a purpose he is to accomplish
I lift away.. from those who hold sway
who by *influence* may be able to confuse him

I called Abram away from his home in Haran
I showed him the land he was to settle
My calling cost him.. his home and his heart
But he HAD to learn the Voice of His Shepherd

Joseph I took right away from his brothers
I taught him his lessons.. firsthand
He suffered.. lamented, yet learned how to listen
He learned on Me, ONLY to depend

Moses, after being a true Prince of Egypt
Caught My vision concerning the Deliverance
But it was not until after his training in Midian
That I KNEW I could trust him to listen

Elijah had to learn the Sound of My Voice
Alone, in the desert, fed by ravens
Pressure of Silence breaks the channel between us
And allows My Chosen to hear what I Say

What about those I called as My Prophets?
They learned My Voice speaking to them
They learned to rely upon Me and My Message
And spoke My Word.. regardless of danger from men
Alone in the desert, their ears made Alive

My Servants heard the Voice of their Shepherd
They learned to Trust and Rely on My leading
And learned not to Doubt what they heard
When I walked on this earth, I separated from all
During the times of My Seeking of Orders
I had to establish My channel to God
For He Alone was My Teacher and Counselor

I had to *appear* rebellious to Law
In the eyes of the Religious Community
Yet loyal to God, the Ruler of All
and True to the task set before Me

Paul, I trained three years in Arabia
after I revealed to him, I was His Savior
I gave him his orders and gave his his vision
From which.. he never did waver

This training by Me.. separate from man
Is Necessary for clear focus in sight
For the Ones I call.. I will Train and Empower
To do THAT which is their purpose in life

So, seek Me alone in the quiet of hours
To teach, to guide and to lead you
Allow Me to make of you, all you can be
For this is Salvation's True Meaning

Don't doubt what I say in the dark of the night
Because others can't see your enlightenment
Be strong in My Strength.. and don't fear My Lead

For I am always faithful to My Servant
Don't fight Me.. don't fear Me.. just do what I ask
And be willing to seek Me in solitude

Your eyes will see Me far off and a'beckoning
Your ears will come Alive to My Truth
But you must develop a sense of awareness
To My Voice, you must become sensitive
This is how you will KNOW the Voice of Your Shepherd
This is how you will FOLLOW My Lead.
