Face to face with suffering
Time to confront grief
Nothing here but silence
Nothing left to see
And if I try to listen
To the preaching from my seat
Processing is nothing
And silence comforts me
Can one tear suffice thinking
Could words learn to forgive
If I chose to be silent
When there’s nothing left to give?
Ask me now what words I feel
But nothing dwells inside
Silence is the best of me
The refuge where I hide
Christ exists in silence
If I listen to Him speak
Nothing here will fill me
When Him I learn to seek
Will one tear suffice thinking
Will words learn to forgive
If I choose to be silent
When there’s nothing left to give?
Nothing left for me to do
But sit here at His feet
Nothing words could ever tell
When silence comforts me
Learning slow how silence proves
The end of self is Him
I will not fear if all I give
Is nothing from within
One tear will suffice thinking
Words will learn to forgive
As I choose to be silent
When there’s nothing left to give
