These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Voices

So many voices in the world.
So many truths they all profess.
So many thoughts in the brain are whirled.
So many "know" fore'er will bless.

But voices in the ever lands
are voices of the vast unknown.
The voices of the shifting sands
aren't the voices bowing 'neath The Throne.

Some everlasting voices bless,
but some forever voice their curse.
Some worship He, Who saw our mess.
His victory over death was terse.

The voices of the lasting dark
in tears or hatred voice their grief.
Forever voiced escapes embark.
Forever pained, they seek relief.

The Voice of Truth calls thee today.
Oh, listen, if the sound you hear.
Blest Summons we must needs obey.
Salvation's Gift to the heart is dear.
