When He is Silent<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When fears arise, \u2018mid sorrows deep,<\/p>\n

When there\u2019s no rock beneath my feet,<\/p>\n

When terrors grip and hearts despair,<\/p>\n

Can He be found? Is He not there?<\/p>\n

When hear I not His calming voice,<\/p>\n

When doubting seems my only choice,<\/p>\n

To go alone and not return,<\/p>\n

But will I then His love discern?<\/p>\n

So speak to me, oh silent One,<\/p>\n

Please take my hand and call me son.<\/p>\n

Stay by my side in times like these;<\/p>\n

Please turn and see me on my knees.<\/p>\n

Will darkness plague me to the end?<\/p>\n

If light is gone, should I pretend?<\/p>\n

Or is His touch what now I feel?<\/p>\n

He bids me stand, but still I kneel.<\/p>\n

And softly do His fingers rest<\/p>\n

Upon my brokenheartedness.<\/p>\n

And for an instant, see Him there,<\/p>\n

Beside me in my falt\u2019ring prayer.<\/p>\n

He speaks in whispers to my heart,<\/p>\n

And tells me He will never part.<\/p>\n

Through stormy seas, my soul will keep,<\/p>\n

And find my rest at His dear feet.<\/p>\n
