Screaming in Silence

In the depths of my soul, a cry echoes through

A scream in silence, only You can hear it true

Doubts creep in, like shadows on the wall

"Is Your presence real? Do You hear me at all?"

I pray for sunshine, for light in the night

But rain keeps falling, and darkness takes flight

My plans, so carefully laid, crumble to dust

Half the time, it seems, Your way is not my trust

If i never understand, or ever see the promise land

Yet, I'll choose to trust, though unanswered prayers am gone trust the way you work even if it breaks me.

Remain a mystery, beyond my mortal cares

Your ways, oh Lord, are not my own

But I'll surrender, and make Your will my home

In the silence, I'll wait for Your voice

A whisper of hope, a gentle, loving choice

To guide me through trials, and testing times

And prove Your promise, that You're always on my mind

Though doubts assail, and fears arise

I'll stand on Your word, and lift my weary eyes

To the hills of hope, where faith is made

And trust that Your goodness, will forever be displayed

Even when answers don't come, as I desire

I'll rest in Your sovereignty, and Your heart's fire

For You, oh Lord, are good, and just, and true

And Your plans, though hidden, will see me through.

So if you give or if you take i will let you lead the way even if it breaks me
