Full Song Lyrics

Verse 1:
Late nights staring at the wall thinking bout my life
Praying to you God Jesus hoping that I'm doing right
When I was twelve that was the first time I learned about you
All the life lessons you taught I couldn't discern the value
Lived life in a dash, wasn't concerned about you
Fast lanes whiplash, how I always drove around you
I passed you up, didn't even care to see
What you did for us, and that you even ever cared for me
I didn't like you chasing me, didn't want you gracing me
I was like a poor man's debt, didn't want you raising me
I wasn't interested on how you wanted change in me
I was more integrated in science like a new laser beam
Bionic atomic cybernetic kinetic properties
Part Scientology my apologies honestly
Out of mind in space you see
I was a UFO
Under a Foreign Oppression
By Who? I'm sure that you know
Verbal D
Chorus:
Calling...
You've been calling me in my sleep
With silent whispers
Your silent whispers calling me
I left you waiting oh Jesus
But now I know that I need
Silent whispers
Your silent whispers guiding me
Guiding me
(Jesus Christ's Silent Whispers)
I love you
Be careful
Please listen to me
I want you to go to heaven
Verbal D
Verse 2:
Plugged into the world, it was a game to me
I saw you as the controller, each moment that you came to me
I didn't want your commandments to ever start taming me
I only saw your love as the leash that was suffocating me
Thought I was a beast and you were chaining me
I wanted my release from your hug like it was caging me
I know I did wrong, I thought that you were blaming me
I didn't ever realize your sacrifice was saving me!
So now I feel dumb for pushing you away
Morals were real numb the moments I was astray
I pray for forgiveness every moment and chance I pray
The closer I'm to your light, then the darkness is turning grey
My relationship with you is making me a better person
Better father and husband a better musical servant
Fighting off all these demons I'm seizing them by their boots
'Cause I'm living life by your love and I'm rooted inside your truth!
Verbal D
Chorus:
Calling...
You've been calling me in my sleep
With silent whispers
Your silent whispers calling me
I left you waiting oh Jesus
But now I know that I need
Silent whispers
Your silent whispers guiding me
Guiding me
(Jesus Christ's Silent Whispers)
I love you
Be careful
Please listen to me
I want you to go to heaven

Thank you for reading this post in its entirety, I hope you enjoyed it for what it's worth. Part 3 coming tomorrow
I'll still be continuing accepting donations until I can reach my goal to fly out to america with my children and wife to visit my family as it is very urgent indeed.
I've raised $1888 and .31 cents of Steemit Currency in total from both My Posts and Donations from Steemit Community Members this 2017 forward and $95.00 in US Dollar Donations so far towards my goal of $ 6,000.00 (Six Thousand) US Dollars and will keep everyone updated with every new future post that I submit.
This total amount will not only include donations I've received to the Paypal account I've provided: [email protected], but it will also include the Steemit Currency that I accrue/receive from all of my personal posts starting the 1st of January of 2017 forward calculated after a 48 hour time frame is finished for the payout cycle of each post to avoid miscalculating the fluctuating price of Steemit Currency.

My very own wonderful gif logo provided to me by the generous and kindhearted @papa-pepper Thanks again very much!
Thanks @verbal-d for the shout.
I think this is my best so far, the clarity of your voice is top notch....your choruses are always lit, I don't know how you do it. Good Luck sensei
Thank you so much bro, I truly appreciate your extremely generous and kind words, I always try and bring my best to inspire. God bless young grasshopper :) lol
loool!
The beat seems a bit muted, but I get the general sense of where you're coming from. I totally didn't expect it to sound like that, but I often don't so yeah. I really like the whispers themselves, I know you added them in because of the title. It was a nice touch, bro, and it's what set it apart from the rest. Amazing as always, brother!
I found the balance between voice and beat better with headphones.
You know, I've been listening to @verbal-d's entries for a few months now and never once have I followed that instruction. Good tip! :)
You're completely right bro, thank you for confirming my own doubts about this entry. I should have cranked up the beat more, I redid it just now, give a relisten and let me know what you think now :)
Beautiful lyrics. Very inspiring.
Hopehuggs! You're finally back, so glad to see your return, this is wonderful news. I have to go to your page and see what you have been up to. Thanks for taking time out to comment and listen to this song. I am also hosting my own contest on my @verbal-d profile, you should participate if it is in your interest for fun, @peacemaker :)
I really liked this, I mean I love your stuff, but this one was really unique, the chorus was beautiful and the whispers were a really cool effect.
xo
Thank you so much my dear friend, this is one of my more unique approaches to a song and it turned out the way I was expecting it to, so that made it overall a favorite of mine to perform, although I haven't performed it in a little while. My cousin named the beat so I used the title's concept to throw those little messages in there.
damn, fast shit! Man it's tight as hell, I dig this a lot.
Thank you very much bro, appreciate you checking this one out, I still have way too many songs on my hands, and open mic is helping me to perform them all, what a blessing and opportunity to have fellow musicians and enthusiasts listen to my stuff. Very grateful and humbled indeed
another strong start! you set the bar high for all of us, thank you, enjoy your week.
Thank you very much bro, I had to re do it because I agreed with @jedau on the balance, it sounded acceptable on headphones, but I feel if you quickly skim through the new upload now which I have just replaced with the old one, you'll hear the beat much more fully now :) Appreciate your time and positive encouragement indeed!
Nice song man. I always found it interesting that so many people think "religious rock" is weird, while it is more accepted in the rap community. To me, if you sing with passion about what you love, any music should work. Bob Dylan had some religious albums that I thought were great. Cheers man. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much bro, I completely agree, passion transcends any genre and connects with those who can see the value in the artwork.
I am always amazed at your phrasing when you post to openmic. Wicked fast, tight, and outa sight. Another excellent entry with a great message. Good luck my Brother!
Thank you so much bro, I truly appreciate your big support and kind words. If you like contests with writing, check my profile and enter into the contest of the 2 sentence horror story if that is in your lane of creativity :)
Silent Whispers......just the title sounds creepy. If I am blessed with some thoughts of horror I will jump in. Thanks for thinking of me.
Cool, yeah the title can be interpreted differently lol You're welcome
Sick Rhythms. Kinda has this old school 8th note thing going on blended with some quick sixteenth pockets. Daddy Likely !
Thank you very much bro, yeah I incorporated some whiplash effect when I was writing the rhymes, made me really zone in for the song and I always like challenging the syncopation of my flows.
i am blown back with your lyrics almost each time i dive into one of your pieces my friend, just wowed! you are on another level my friend. great stuff
Thank you so much my friend, I was super zoned in on this one lol Had to give that extra flair to present it just right. You think I'm on another level, and that is my exact thought about you! Appreciate your support always truly
