how long can you endure the silence
and still trust your ears
how long can you waste away your days
till you lose track of the years

and when the good times turn bad
who is to blame?
well i ask for help and faith
to easy the sting of pain

it’s quiet when i listen
should i look for a sign?
i can’t base it all on feelings
on answers i can’t find
i know God knows things I cannot see
so I’ll trust Him even when it’s not easy

i have to believe God sees me cry
i want to believe He cares
when everyone is moving away
it’s hard to think He’s there

i’m jealous of the former slaves
that walked across Red Sea
and I can’t help but wonder
why God doesn’t do that stuff for me

it’s quiet when i listen
should i look for a sign?
i can’t base it all on feelings
on answers i can’t find
i know God knows things I cannot see
so I’ll trust Him even when it’s not easy

all this doubt makes my faith more true
i have promises and history to see me through
