Beyonce Knowles - Listen lyrics

Listen,
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But can't complete

Listen, to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning
To find release

Oh,
the time has come
for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own
all cause you won't
Listen....

[Chorus]
Listen,
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home, in my own home
And I tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Oh,
[Listen Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com]
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..

You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I'd thought had died
So long ago

Ohh I'm free now and my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own
All cause you won't
Listen...

[Chorus]

I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't....
If you won't....

LISTEN!!!...
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But I will complete

Oh,
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice, you think you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..
my ownn...

Anyway i just had a conversation with a friend, and it really irritates me.

We have become a generation of christians who know how to give answers, who are trained to know what answers are to be given to what questions. We have forgotten how to love one another.

Love does not entail giving answers. Love does not mean we point each other back to God. Yes that is our ultimate objective. Yes we need to bring the person back to the realisation that God is who the person needs. But we need to stop playing church, stop giving cliche answers. Start listening to the person's heart cry. What exactly is the person saying?

Don't listen to the person, hear his heart. This is the key to relationships, and i admit i have stopped it. Because let me tell you, hearing a person's heart is the hardest thing to do. Up to now, i know of none who does it well. Listen to the heart. Not to the problem. Don't be problem orientated, or solution driven. Be person focused. God's whole purpose of life is relationship. If relationship is about doing, then God would just have washed the entire creation away in the flood and left us there. But He rebuild the world, in the desire for a relationship.

He tore the veil that we might approach Him. He tells us His secrets if only we would seek Him. He says Seek and He will be found. Draw near, and the lord WILL draw near. God is not about making us grow; He is about knowing each other.

Know one another. Listen to them. Walk with them. Until you earn the right to speak into their lives.
