Silent Praise

“Silent Praise”

God, here comes the silence.     
My story, my song, praising my Savior        
All the day long, now has a difference.       
In our quiet moments together                      
Your praise used to pour out from me.       
Now a void manifests in my heart                 
And loud silence where joy used to be.      

So take the groanings of my heart     
That’s all I have to offer lately.             
I don’t remember how to start             
Praying with gratitude faithfully.        
But somehow through the tears,        
in still moment in your presence,  
I think of your ways over the years.    

If you were able to turn vessels of water                 
Into good wine that was celebrated,                  
If you were able to turn the ocean floor           
To paths where your people were liberated,   
Then can you take my moments in tears,          
Can you turn the silence on my lips,                     
Into worthy praise on your ears?
