Silence...

In the car the radio's jamming, at home we live to the TV's blare

Stereos,Walkmen, iPods, as long as there's noise we don't really care.

What is there about silence that terribly frightens us so

Being alone with our thoughts, of who we are or what we may know.

Facing the truth that we're disappointed of the person that's living inside

Makes us build walls of noise and distraction, a shelter in which we hide.

But God has a way of removing all the busyness that blinds our eyes

And making us face our reality, stripping away our excuses and lies.

And when we are finally faced with our inadaquacies and fear

In the depths of our solitude we find our Heavenly Father is near.

This is time to admit, so freely to Him, that we fail

And this is His time to love us, and allow his strength to prevail.

We find that we don't have the answers to those questions deep in our mind

About why we're here on this earth, or what we're expected to find.

We're faced without knowing the meaning of the emptiness of our heart

To dwell on these things without resource is enough to tear us apart.

But to all those who choose to seek Him, and trust Him to answer their plea

To them he's given the promise that through His eternal vision they'll see.
