God's Precshush Sound Of Love Poem by Denis Martindale

Shush.... Can you hear God's sound of love?
As soft as April rain
And carried on a gentle breeze...
Ah, such a sweet refrain!

Shush... Listen for His tender voice...
He's whisp'ring soft and warm,
As in a Mother's lullaby,
Sung to her child newborn...

And you'll hear Him in the raindrops,
Each tumbling to the earth...
Close-up kissing field and pasture,
Propagating brand new birth...

Then hear Him in the falling snow,
That's floating to the ground
And in the rustling of the trees...
Ah, yes, the sweetest sound...

Shush... Hear Him in a violin,
So smooth and finely strung...
Then listen to a blessed songbird
That's tending to her young...

And hear Him in a symphony,
In music so sublime,
It lifts you to the highest peaks
Of ecstasy divine!

Shush... Then hear Him... in the silence...
Between the tender sighs
Of the two whose hearts are woven...
(You'll see it in their eyes!)

Shush... Listen in the darkest hour,
Before God's dawn breaks through!
This is when you'll hear Him clearly...
He's whisp'ring, 'I love you! '
