The Silence Of God (2014 Version) Lyrics - Andrew Peterson

It's enough to drive a man crazy; it'll break a man's faith 

It's enough to make him wonder if he's ever been sane 

When he's bleating for comfort from Thy staff and Thy rod 

And the heaven's only answer is the silence of God 

It'll shake a man's timbers when he loses his heart 

When he has to remember what broke him apart 

This yoke may be easy, but this burden is not 

When the crying fields are frozen by the silence of God 

And if a man has got to listen to the voices of the mob 

Who are reeling in the throes of all the happiness they've got 

When they tell you all their troubles have been nailed up to that cross 

Then what about the times when even followers get lost? 

'Cause we all get lost sometimes 

There's a statue of Jesus on a monastery knoll 

In the hills of Kentucky, all quiet and cold 

And He's kneeling in the garden, as silent as a Stone 

All His friends are sleeping and He's weeping all alone

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

And the man of all sorrows, he never forgot 

What sorrow is carried by the hearts that he bought 

So when the questions dissolve into the silence of God 

The aching may remain, but the breaking does not 

The aching may remain, but the breaking does not 

In the holy, lonesome echo of the silence of God
