He Is Not Silent

The people said this desert never ends

We have no bread, our throats are dry

Our heads are heavy and our feet need rest

Has He left us here to die?

And we've forgotten all His words

As if we never heard

We take our hearts and turn away

But He is not silent

He is not whispering

We are not quiet

We are not listening

He sends a lifeline

We keep resisting Him

He is not silent

We are not listening

We wander through this world in disbelief

Shake our heads at every tear

Searching endlessly for some relief

Has He left us dying here?

But we've forgotten all His words

Pretend we never heard

We take our hearts and turn away

But He is not silent

He is not whispering

We are not quiet

We are not listening

He sends a lifeline

We keep resisting Him

He is not silent

We are not listening

No, we are not listening

We take our daily bread

And after we've been fed

We take our hearts and turn away

But He is not silent

He is not whispering

We are not quiet

We are not listening

He sends a lifeline

We keep resisting Him

He is not silent

We are not listening

He is not silent

He is not whispering

We are not quiet

We just are not listening

He sends a lifeline

We keep resisting Him

He is not silent

We are not listening

No, no we are not listening

I said we are not listening

But He is not silent
