In Your Silence

CCM/Rock
(Starts slow, but ends with a punch!)
This song came to me while I was walking along the beach the day after my pastor, Scott McKay, had delivered a powerful sermon about the importance of making time for silence in our worship, so we can hear the voice of God. I thought I'd take a trip to the beach to have some 'quiet time' with the Lord. I took my dog, Buddy, with me, and turned him loose to chase the seagulls while I walked in the surf, listening for that 'still small voice'. Well...all I heard was the crashing of the waves, the roar of the wind, thunder from a distant storm, the seagulls laughing, and the barking of my dog! I had just about given up on finding any "silence" when this song popped into my head. Although our sermon the day before ahd been about OUR silence, and taking the time to really listen for and to God, this song turned out to be about the times when HE chooses to be silent to us. God builds our faith in these times, if we choose to let him. I hope this song really makes you realize that God's Silence can be a comfort, not a punishment. He cares about us enough to strengthen us, even if it means not talking to us for awhile.

In Your Silence
We long for a whisper
In Your Silence
We seek Your face
In Your Silence
You teach us to trust You
In Your Silence
We learn how to pray.

In Your Silence
We learn about patience
In Your Silence
You teach us faith
In Your Silence
We yearn for an answer
In Your Silence
We learn how to wait.

(Chorus)
Waves crash in the ocean with a roar,
Thunder booms in a lightning storm
Wind howls thru a forest of trees
But Your silence speaks louder to me,
Yes, Your silence speaks louder to me.


In Your Silence
Your Spirit is with us
In Your Silence
You hold us close
In Your Silence
Your arms are around us
In Your Silence
You love us the most.

(Chorus)
Waves crash in the ocean with a roar,
Thunder booms in a lightning storm
Wind howls thru a forest of trees
But Your silence speaks louder to me
Yes, Your silence brings comfort to me.

(Instrumental)


In Your Silence
Faith can move mountains
In Your Silence
The weak become strong
In Your Silence
You fill us with power
In Your Silence
Our faith will carry on.

In Your Silence
Our faith will carry on!

what does this have to do with adoption?

[faithrefined]

Hi anne102462, Our adoption video is called "They Chose Me" and is located on our page for faithrefined. I'm not sure how you found this one, but it may just be that the adoption tag brought you to our general page. Hope that helps! :)

lol you crazy religous guys. Ever wondered why he is silent? Cos he aint there!

[faithrefined]

Lol! A few moments of silence in a lifetime of miracles just proves to me He is ALIVE!! Just like any parent, sometimes He has to stand back and let His children learn a lesson for themselves so they can grow in wisdom.
