Somewhere In The Silence
Sometimes in the silence
so dark I cannot see.
Reaching into brokenness
is where I then find me.
Not seeking of some sympathy
for teardrops on my face.
I found that it's sufficient
I turn to God and grace.
At times I find great suffering
my words are at a loss.
Then I turn to Jesus
and see Him on the cross.
Crowned by His obedience
blood drying in His hair.
Arms outstretched in love
it's love that held Him there.
In the quiet of the moment
I hear a teardrop fall.
Somewhere in the silence
I hear an angel call.
Telling me of love forever
that I may never understand.
Until at last I can see me
through the hole in Jesus hand.
