In the silence, there’s no room for lies;
In the silence, there’s nowhere to hide.
In the silence, I am laid bare;
In the silence, Lord, you are there.
In the silence, I can wear no mask;
In the silence, I see what you clearly ask.
In the silence, I am only me; I see who you want me to be.
Yes, in the silence, Lord, your mere presence is grace.
In the silence, your love you bring to me;
In the silence, you say, my child, let it be.
So, Lord, I have no words for you,
I come only as I am.
Into the silence, to ask for your love;
I want to belong to you, Lord,
So that I may let go and let God.
