🎶 Song 188 – Silent Between the Worlds

Paper 188 – The Time of the Tomb 🎶 Song: Silent Between the Worlds (Verse 1 – The Burial) Joseph came when day grew late, While sorrow stood at every gate. Nicodemus helped prepare, The final gift of loving care. They laid Him in a garden tomb, Beneath the shadows of the gloom. Though hope seemed buried from their sight, Love still served into the night. (Chorus – Silent Between the Worlds) Silent between the worlds He lay, While grief and darkness filled the day. The faithful waited, hearts unsure, Yet truth and love remained secure. Silent between the worlds that night, Beyond all mortal fear and sight. Though men believed the story done, The Father's purpose still moved on. (Verse 2 – The Guarded Tomb) The rulers feared His memory still, Though death had seemed to work their will. They sealed the stone and set a guard, Yet truth is never locked or barred. The watchmen stood through fading light, Their weapons ready through the night. But no decree of earthly power Could govern God's appointed hour. (Bridge – The Sabbath Silence) The apostles hid behind closed doors, Their broken dreams upon the floor. The women wept and mourned the loss, Still haunted by the rugged cross. No trumpet sounded from above, No visible sign of Father's love. Yet faith is strongest when it stays Through silent nights and darkened days. (Verse 3 – Meaning of the Cross) The Father did not seek that pain, Nor ask His Son in blood be slain. The cross was born of human choice, Not Heaven's judgment, law, or voice. Yet Michael showed through loss and strife The highest meaning of a life. To love, to serve, to still forgive, And teach God's children how to live. (Chorus – Silent Between the Worlds) Silent between the worlds He lay, While grief and darkness filled the day. The faithful waited, hearts unsure, Yet truth and love remained secure. Silent between the worlds that night, Beyond all mortal fear and sight. Though men believed the story done, The Father's purpose still moved on. (Bridge – Lessons from the Cross) Forgive when hatred fills the air, Stand firm when burdens seem unfair. Choose mercy where revenge would reign, Bring hope where others only pain. For love survives the darkest hour, More strong than fear or earthly power. And hearts aligned with God shall find A peace no storm can leave behind. (Final Chorus – The Eternal Lesson) Silent between the worlds He lay, But love was never swept away. The Father's goodness still was near, Beyond the shadow born of fear. Silent between the worlds once more, A pause before the opening door. For what seemed loss to mortal eyes, Prepared the dawn that soon would rise. (Outro) The stone was sealed, the Sabbath came, Yet nothing ever stayed the same. For truth endured though hope seemed gone, And waited quietly for the dawn.
