SILENCE

God is in the silence

When it feels like pending doom.

God is in the silence

Because He never left the room.

Depression is so awful

But God is still right there.

He’s waiting close beside you

When you feel life’s deep despair.

God waits in silence for you.

He never creates a fuss.

God is in the tender quiet

And He loves you very much.

Gently rest upon your pillow.

You’re too tired to worry so.

God wants to solve it for you.

As you relinquish and let go!
