In the Silence - 1
In the silence of the darkest night
Whispering serenity through my soul
There comes a hope so wonderful
It is alive, thriving, surviving all loss
With the assurance that there is love
Love that builds bridges to tomorrow
And heals pain with a salve of kindness
Creates compassion from joy and faith
Leaves only a breath of doubt behind
Where it can say it has been and gone
Leaving only reassurance to carry on
In the silence of the final note of a song
Dancing softly through the right and wrong
Glorifying the creator who knows our heart
And gives us the gift of His beloved Son
To guide us forward, through pain and sorrow
Into a world that is filled with worry and fear
Dread that what is will forever be there
Darkening the sunrise with distrust and disgrace
Filling up the moments with disappointment
Leaving only grief to color the world
In hues of steely gray that beckons the way
Toward doubt, confusion and disdain
In the silence of the freshly fallen snow
There comes a purity that innocence knows
Is the reflection of hope, faith and love
These three who capture the wonder of life
Leaving out all trouble, apprehension and strife
Filling up the moments with grace and mercy
Wiping away the tears that fall like dew on roses
Clinging to the cheeks of those who know
Only the jewels that caress the spirit with tender
Prayers, pleas for forgiveness, will discover
The answer to it all is found with faith in the One
Who knows our hearts and souls and loves
Unconditionally, completely, without reason
With a love that is always in season
Saving us from the horrors of life without hope
A life that knows Jesus is a life that can cope
