Intro:
F F Bb Gm  
 
1 Verse:
F
I know you've been afraid
F
Don't know what to do
Bb                       Gm
You've been lost in the questions
F
I don't know what to say
F
I'm sure if I were you
Bb                     G  C
I'd proceed with some caution  
 
Chorus:
       Bb
But I want you to know
          A
When the joy that you feel
           F                    G  Bb
Leaves a terrible ache in your bones
          Bb
It's the voice of Jesus
C                 F
Calling you back home
 
Interlude: 
Bb G C  
 
2 Verse:
F
I know you've got a lot
F
Spinning in your head
Bb                   Gm
All this emptiness fills you
F
Maybe you could try
F
Laying in your bed
Bb                      G    C
To ask the silence to still you  
 
Chorus:
         Bb
And you might hear a beat
        A
On the door of your heart
         F                  G Bb
When you do, let it open up wide
           Bb
It's the voice of Jesus
C                 F
Calling you his bride
 
Interlude: 
F Am Gm C  
 
Bridge:
A                             Dm
Once upon a time there was a little boy
     Bb            F       Gm   C
Who wandered the forest, abandoned
         A
And he heard in the leaves
      Dm
And behind every tree
      Bb         F      G   C
The sound of a secret companion
        Bb

3 Verse:
F
So listen, little girl
F
Somewhere there's a king
Bb                    C
Who will love you forever
F
And nothing in the world
F
Could ever come between
Bb                     Gm  C
You, my love, and this lover  
 
End Chorus:
           Bb
So when I kiss you at night
       A
And I turn out the light
           F                 G  Bb
And I tell you you're never alone
          Bb
It's the voice of Jesus
C
Calling you
          Bb
It's the voice of Jesus
C                F
Calling you his own
