The Lyrics
Prayin' to the ceiling, three in the mornin
No answer comin' back, just the sound of my own breathin
I asked You a question and I got the silence
Started thinkin' maybe You stopped listenin
And I won't lie, it messed with my head
'Cause I needed You loud, and You went quiet instead
But I've been here before, and I know how this goes
The quiet isn't empty, it just feels like it grows
You hear me, You see me, You know that it's hard
You've been here the whole time, right here in the dark
The silence isn't "no" it's a "not right now"
You're workin' on a good I can't see from the ground
It's not that You're not with me
It's not that You're not near
The God in the silence is the loudest thing here
There was a Saturday the whole world went quiet
Caught between the cross and the mornin' light
Looked like the end, looked like love had lost
But that silence was the pause right before the stone rolled off
So when the answer's takin' longer than I'd like
I'll trust the God still workin' on the other side of quiet
You hear me, You see me, You know that it's hard
You've been here the whole time, right here in the dark
The silence isn't "no" it's a "not right now"
You're workin' on a good I can't see from the ground
It's not that You're not with me
It's not that You're not near
The God in the silence is the loudest thing here
You heard the prayer I couldn't finish
You caught the tears before they dried
You see a road I can't see yet
And the plan is bigger than tonight
So I'll stop needin' the noise to know You're movin
You've been speakin' all along, I just couldn't hear it
So even in the silence, I'm not alone
You're workin' it for good, and You're bringin' me home.
