I've Heard Whispers
~*Marge Tindal*~


I've heard whispers of a babe,
born unto us this night.
The stories meet me on the hills,
glowing from the light.

They tell me that he was born,
in a stable in Bethlehem.
The babe of whom they speak,
have you seen him, my friend ?

I go from place to place
I cannot find the babe.
Tell me, please, have you seen him ?
In swaddling clothes he lays.

I have gifts to bring
on this Christmas day,
I want to kneel at his feet
so that he might hear me pray.

I look, I seek, I ask the path.
It's more than I can bear.
They smile at me and shake their heads
and say they know not where.

I travel the weary darkness,
this night has been the worst.
Tell him I am seeking him,
if you should meet him first.

Ah Marge, keep following your heart...you write so well...

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Karilea~
It hasn't been often that I have been moved,
by my own words - to the point of tears -
but I'll share that this is one of those times.
May all across this earth meet Him and share Him with others.

Elizabeth~
And in this season - it's hearts that I want to touch.
Thank you for yours.

LoveBug~
Oh, my dear - He has.
That's what I want to share with others.

VanDana~
Smiles at you, my friend.

Doreen~
Hon, I would hope to share my faith
with all who would search for Him.
And friends ... yes, that is joy.
Thank you for being uniquely you.

Marsha~
I'm full of sharing~
Thank you for accepting my gift.

GreenEyes~
I appreciate knowing you were touched by this small message.
May the whispers be heard the world over.

LightHouseBob~
And that star shines even brighter this night.
May all find their way to Him.

We tend to forget through all the glitz and glitter that that babe is the real reason...and if we look up into the night sky we might just might see the star that will lead us home...thank you

Yes Marge I have found him. He says you are one of his most precious followers.

It's strange I've read this several days before but didn't comment. Today when I opened it, was the first time I heard the music. I knew I couldn't pass up telling you how much I enjoyed it.
