A Silent Scream

Worst cry ever heard, a scream from the depths of a soul It’s a silent scream that can only be felt By another heart that cares and refuses to scold Never condemns but offers God’s grace. love, and help She was standing in a jail cell Was there for murdering a man Asking, "Can I be saved from this hell, My soul is sinking way down." He stood frozen in disbelief Could he be hearing such dire words Her face showed remorse and grief For the evil she had done What in her life caused such despair How had she come to this real low Did she kill out of hatred or fear These hard cold facts he didn’t know Her question was etched on his mind He gave the answer that pardons all One he hoped she would not decline Trust in Jesus Christ, the Lord Have you ever known that cry in the depths of your soul The silent scream that tears at your very being Ripping you apart, leaving you numb, even cold My only balm was God’s grace, mercy, and love
