Ffh - Listen lyrics

Voices are everywhere, and they?
re screaming at us: use me,
buy me, believe me. We?ve got voices all over our
culture: chat rooms, commercials,
billboards, and bumper stickers, and they all want our immediate attention.

And then there is that voice from the past or that
voice in your head that says you messed up too many
times. You can?t do it. You can?
t do it on your own. You?
re not smart enough. You?
re not strong enough. You?
re not stable enough. You?
re not thin enough. And then there?
s the enemy. The father of lies that likes to get
in there and say no way you?ll ever make anything of yourself.

I had this amazing conversation with my dad not too
long ago. He?s a great man.
I love him so much. And he told me about the first
time that his father said something encouraging to
him. My dad had just put a room onto his house.
And my grandfather was a master carpenter and he was
inspecting my dad?s work. And he got done and went
to my dad, and said, ?That?
s a good job Harry.? And that was the first time my
grandfather said something encouraging to my dad, and he was 38 years old.

Man, and without hearing that voice.
Without hearing that, whether it?
s the actually the physical audible voice of your father
or mother, or the voice from God,
you don?t have any identity.
You have no way to function.
I think Jesus knew that. I think that?
s why, when He went through His ministry,
touching people and healing people,
and speaking to people. He never asked them to be
anything that they weren?t.
He tried to get them to understand who they were.
That?s why he said, ?You?
re my daughter, you?re my son,
you?re my brother, you?re my sheep.
? He wanted us to identify with Him and understand
that we?re His creation; that we're worth something.

Yeah, and that?s something amazing about Jesus.
He could look down into somebody?
s spirit and draw out who they really were.
I mean, he looked at Simon and said,
?You know what? You?re not Simon, You?re Peter. You?re a Rock.?

And how ?bout that woman that came up to Him when He
was going through that crowd,
and she touched His garment,
and he turned around and he said, ?Daughter.? His first word: Daughter.

You know, Jesus got that honestly from His father.
Three times when Jesus was under immense pressure
in his ministry, God the father actually spoke.
I mean, spoke audibly, It wasn?
t inward. Jesus heard it,
and the people around Jesus heard it.
Like at His baptism, God the father said,
?you are my son, I love you and I?
m pleased with you.? And then at the transfiguration,
the father spoke again and the disciples heard it.
The father said, ?You are my son.
I have chosen you, and God just established Christ?s
purpose on that mountain.?
And then, before Christ died at Gethsemane in John
12, Jesus prayed: should I pray to be delivered from
this hour? No. This is why I?
ve come. Glorify your name father.
And the father spoke and said,
?I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.
? And I think that promise just drove Christ to the cross.

I think it did too. You may have never heard that
voice. That voice that says you?
re worth it. You?re smart enough.
I believe in you. I love you.
There may be a gaping hole in your spirit where that
voice was supposed to speak into,
and it?s just a vacuum. Listen,
Jesus doesn?t require anything of you.
You can?t work to get His approval.
Remember, when he was affirmed by His father,
when God looked down and said,
?This is my son who I love.
? Jesus hadn?t done a single miracle.
All he asks of you is that you listen.
