Hear Him | The Tabernacle Choir

“Hear Him” was commissioned by the Zion’s Youth Symphony and Chorus in Las Vegas, and premiered in March 2021.

Ryan Murphy wrote the musical setting to new lyrics by Wendy Randall, Artistic Director of the Zion’s Youth Symphony and Chorus and an accomplished local author and lyricist.

Randall’s words are a meditation on God’s scriptural invitation to heed the words of His Son.

Lyrics:
Inside my heart a longing is longing to be heard.
And longing more to hear the Lord and understand His word.
I ponder how I love Him and how He loved me more.
Then suddenly, He’s here with me and opens heaven’s door.

Like a fire that burns inside me, I hear Him.
Like a choir that blends in harmony, His Spirit stirs my soul.
Like a Shepherd, He is beck’ning, I recognize His call,
Though still and small, I hear Him.

I’m learning to be quiet. I’m learning to be still.
To give a place, an open space the Savior’s light can fill.
When worries and confusion weigh heavy on my mind,
When thoughts distract, I guide them back and wait for His reply.

Like a fire that burns inside me, I hear Him.
Like a choir that blends in harmony, His Spirit stirs my soul.
Like a Shepherd, He is beck’ning, I recognize His call,
Though still and small, I hear Him.

When by life’s uncertainty and fear I’m overcome,
My Father knows what helps me most is list’ning to His Son:
A whisper or impression, a scripture or a song,
A tender thought, a sermon taught, a sense of right or wrong,
A gentle reassurance that what I’ve learned is true,
That line by line, to heart and mind, illuminates my view.

Like a fire that burns inside me, I hear Him.
Like a choir that blends in harmony, His Spirit stirs my soul.
Like a Shepherd, He is beck’ning, I recognize His call,
Though still and small, I hear Him.
