Be Silent and Listen

Verse 1 I’ve been running through the motions, Trying hard to hear Your voice. But the noise inside my mind Keeps drowning out Your choice. I’ve been praying with my lips, While my heart is miles away— Lord, I’m tired of all the striving, Help me hear what You would say. Pre-Chorus So I’ll lay down my worries, Every whisper of fear… ’Cause I know You’ve been speaking, But my heart’s not been near. Chorus So I’ll be silent… and listen. I’ll stop fighting to be heard. You’ve been speaking in the stillness, With a far more faithful word. You are God in every moment, Every breath my soul is missing— Let the world fade away, While I’m silent… and listen. Verse 2 I’ve been asking for an answer, But You’re calling me to rest. I’ve been searching for the blessing, But You’re shaping me instead. Like Elijah in the desert, Waiting on the mountain side— Not in fire, not in thunder, But the whisper You provide. Pre-Chorus So I’ll stop all the running, All the battles within… You’ve been waiting in the quiet Just to speak to me again. Chorus So I’ll be silent… and listen. I’ll stop fighting to be heard. You’ve been speaking in the stillness, With a far more faithful word. You are God in every moment, Every breath my soul is missing— Let the world fade away, While I’m silent… and listen. Bridge You calm the winds inside me, You break the walls I’ve built. You mend the storm-torn pieces That I’ve carried in my guilt. So take my restless heartbeat, Make it steady in Your peace— Till Your whisper is the only Voice that’s calling out to me. Final Chorus So I’ll be silent… and listen. Let Your presence fill the room. Every fear becomes a memory When I’m standing next to You. You are God in every moment, And Your love is what I’m given— So speak, Lord, I am here… I’ll be silent… and listen.
