noiseless sound

i sit and listen to the sound of silence
in that sound i hear Your voice
the most distant sound is where You lie
i must push out the noise, all the other noise...
so easy to hear
so easy it seems
easy to listen to all the other noise

so hard to be silent
in fear of what i might hear

Your voice feels so far
yet it's so very near
in the sound of silence lies the key to Your voice
in that noiseless sound Your voice cries out
it stills my heart , it calms my fears

so my soul battles against the noise
my heart, my mind, my thoughts...they battle to hear Your voice
You long to be heard
in a great big world

with so much noise
through the rain
the pain
the colors
and the glitz
the noise
the toys
the anger
and the fists...
through it all Your voice remains
soft and gentle
free of worry
free of pain
