[Verse 1]
Gravel road behind us
Crickets hum their tired tune
We lie down in the tall grass
Breathing in the fields and moon
Your hand finds my shoulder
Fireflies drift
Drift and fade
Silence feels like something spoken
In this dark that You have made
[Chorus]
Whispers in the sky
Every little star like a word You write
Tiny sparks
A thousand quiet prayers
Pouring down the night
Into my ears
I close my eyes
And I just lie
Listening to God in the countryside
(oh, I hear You)
Whispers in the sky
[Verse 2]
Distant tractor on the hillside
Dog barks once
Then all is still
You laugh soft about the city
How it drowns what’s gentle
What is real
Here my worries fall like pine cones
Rolling off a sloping hill
Every breath of cool wind
Feels like You saying “peace
Be still”
[Chorus]
Whispers in the sky
Every little star like a word You write
Tiny sparks
A thousand quiet prayers
Pouring down the night
Into my ears
I close my eyes
And I just lie
Listening to God in the countryside
(oh, I hear You)
Whispers in the sky
[Bridge]
Maybe You were always speaking
I was just too loud to hear
Now the dark is deep and simple
And Your comfort’s crystal clear
One more moment
One more heartbeat
Under all this ancient light
I can almost hear You smiling
On this clear
Soft country night
[Chorus]
Whispers in the sky
Every little star like a word You write
Tiny sparks
A thousand quiet prayers
Pouring down the night
Into my ears
I close my eyes
And I just lie
Listening to God in the countryside
(oh, I hear You)
Whispers in the sky
