Silent Pain, Screaming
Silent pain am I screaming…
Robbing your soul of triumph
Making you languish in frustration angst
Inflicted by skepticism’s oppressive blight
Well, where is your belief in the Saviour, Source of mercy?
Have you forsaken His offered grace??
Oh, check now your relationship with Him...
Vanquish me with your affirmation:
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”*
Silent pain am I screaming…
Haunting you of your transgression
Openly exposing guilt that carnal nature denies
Vexing your heart midst iniquities of arrogance
Along selfishness in the guise of faithful service…
Never can you hide your hypocrisy from the Almighty!
Are you aware of divine power that surmounts torment?
Will you take my challenge for genuine renewal??
Let me remind you of serenity-assertion that you once claimed:
“And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.”**
Silent pain am I screaming…
Knowing your spirit’s earnest confession
Surely, you need freedom from sin-bondage
Only God alone can grant---
Thus, trust Him to heal you from the agony
I’m causing by my afflictive sting…
What are you waiting for? Come to Him by faith
His assurance, take heed: “My soul, wait thou only upon God;
for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation:
he is my defence; I shall not be moved.”***
*Romans 5:1; **Psalm 39:7; ***Psalm 62:5-6
