Whose Voice I Follow

[Verse 1]
I’ve worn myself thin just tryna keep ‘em happy
Every nod, every word, feels like it defines me
But when the whispers turn sharp, and the smiles fade away
I’m left asking who I am at the end of the day

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the enemy’s lies in the echoes of doubt
But Your truth cuts through and calls me out

[Chorus]
I won’t let the weight of their words write my name
I’m holding to the One who stays the same
I’ll tune my heart to the Shepherd’s call
Your voice lifts me when I start to fall
Peace like a river, joy that won’t hollow
I’m walking Your way — it’s Your voice I follow

[Verse 2]
I’ve bowed too low to the court of opinion
But Your grace says my worth’s not on their decision
When my soul feels heavy and my spirit runs dry
I’ll lift my eyes where my help comes from on high

[Pre-Chorus]
Every chain of approval is breaking tonight
Your Word is my shield, and Your light is my light

[Chorus]
I won’t let the weight of their words write my name
I’m holding to the One who stays the same
I’ll tune my heart to the Shepherd’s call
Your voice lifts me when I start to fall
Peace like a river, joy that won’t hollow
I’m walking Your way — it’s Your voice I follow

[Bridge]
Even when the closest ones don’t understand
You still hold me in the palm of Your hand
Your promises louder than the world’s cruel noise
My heart is steady in my Father’s voice

[Chorus]
No, I won’t let the weight of their words write my name
I’m standing on the rock that will never change
I’ll tune my heart to the Shepherd’s call
Your love lifts me when I start to fall
Peace like a river, joy that won’t hollow
I’m walking Your way — it’s Your voice I follow
