Almighty Silence

Silence creeps over me slowly like winter
A thorn in my flesh, a Divine wound, a splinter
I still love you so, night and day
I sometimes just have nothing to say

Sorrow falls on me like evening, but I believe
Tomorrow I will wake rejoicing, for you will wipe my tears away

I long for the stillness of God, heavn'ly silence
But I don't know what to do with myself when I find it
Should I fill the space with my voice?
Or should I close my mouth and rejoice…?

Sorrow falls on me like evening, but I believe
Tomorrow I will wake rejoicing, for you will wipe my tears away

Night and day and every season
Lord of all, you owe me no reasons
Day or night, help me to sing:
"Thank you Lord, thank you Lord, thank you…"

I still love you so, night and day
I sometimes just have nothing to say
