THE VOICE OF GOD

The voice of god is softly calling

Calling me back to his fold

Oh wayward child why do you linger

The voice of god is calling low.

Your body is sick; your heart is broken

Your mind confused, your soul is sad

Oh wayward child why did you leave me?

the very best friend that you had.

You are my lamb; I am your Shepard

Oh prodigal won’t you return

Come home my child, your father is waiting

The voice of god is calling low.

I have a ring to place on your finger

The banquet table, I have prepared

Come home my child, your father loves you

The voice of god is calling low.

© Alma Bishop

How could we not honor a Mother who loved God so much??  I can still her voice as she sung this song over the years..and how can we not render obedience and worship to God??  Thanks Sis for sharing this..I've tried to remember this lyrics.

Yes it has.   Mother wrote this song back in the late 40's, several years later, Uncle Foy Lawson had a recording machine that made 78 size records. 
The families would get together and sing and he would make records, none of these were ever marketed.  There is a collection of these records somewhere, or at least I hope they wheren't distroyed. There were records of all the kids sing together also. These 78's would be a real treasure.
 
Uncle Jay had a voice as beautiful as his face, and together with Mother and Aunt Nettie Mae--you would think you were hearing an angel trio.  Thanks for bumping this up, I was looking for it in the site a while back.

MEME WAS ALWAYS KNOWN FOR HER SONGS AND SINGING. I REMEMBER A LULLABY SHE WROTE.
A MOTHER BIRD UP IN A TREE
SINGING HER BEST TO HER
TWO BABY BIRDS
SNUGGLED IN THEIR NEST
GO TO SLEEP MY BABY BIRD
PLEASE DON'T YOU CRY
FOR VERY SOON YOUR WINGS WILL BE STRONG
AND YOU WILL LEARN TO FLY.
I STILL SING IT TO MY LITTLE ONE. AND PRAY THAT SHE WILL SING IT TO HERS.
