[length: 03:49]
[00:16.58]It’s enough to drive a man crazy; it’ll break a man’s faith
[00:23.75]It’s enough to make him wonder if he’s ever been sane
[00:32.01]When he’s bleating for comfort from Thy staff and Thy rod
[00:39.13]And the heaven’s only answer is the silence of God
[00:51.41]It’ll shake a man’s timbers when he loses his heart
[00:58.67]When he has to remember what broke him apart
[01:06.79]This yoke may be easy, but this burden is not
[01:13.79]When the crying fields are frozen by the silence of God
[01:23.59]And if a man has got to listen to the voices of the mob
[01:30.72]Who are reeling in the throes of all the happiness they’ve got
[01:38.13]When they tell you all their troubles have been nailed up to that cross
[01:45.68]Then what about the times when even followers get lost?
[01:54.55]’Cause we all get lost sometimes…
[02:00.24]There’s a statue of Jesus on a monastery knoll
[02:06.80]In the hills of Kentucky, all quiet and cold
[02:14.20]And He’s kneeling in the garden, as silent as a Stone
[02:22.62]All His friends are sleeping and He’s weeping all alone
[02:30.28]And the man of all sorrows, he never forgot
[02:37.05]What sorrow is carried by the hearts that he bought
[02:45.52]So when the questions dissolve into the silence of God
[02:53.01]The aching may remain, but the breaking does not
[03:00.22]The aching may remain, but the breaking does not
[03:07.49]In the holy, lonesome echo of the silence of God
