Sermons in the Silence (Extended)

Stonewalled again Even though we’re best friends I can’t break down your wall I just pray brick by brick it falls One day soon Heart-wrenching tears fall like monsoons My baby don’t love me no more My mind keeps searching for the door While my heart lies shattered on the floor Seeping through the cracks Knowing we’ll never come back This was not what I wanted Realizing your feelings for me were never flaunted Accountability for my falls You gotta meet me halfway—just like Duty Calls Frankly my dear, now I don’t give a damn Gave too many chances to man after man Time to get focused on His Master Plan He gives more than I imagined while holding empty hands Praying to receive what God has for me It’s a shame that losing you was clearly meant to be You have gone your way I have gone mine Thought we had a love That would stand the test of time Instead what you’ve shown Is just how much I’ve grown Aware of my past So grateful storms don’t last Instead the showers come To strengthen what’s begun Hearing sermons in the silence When normally I’d choose violence I sit and listen Waiting for Spirit’s vision In your silence I can hear God’s voice is so crystal clear Saying all I need to know Is trust Him, follow Him, and go Don’t swim against the current, Baby Or you’ll be swept away Carried to a destination That you were never meant to stay God gives intuition Though some call it superstition He’s never steered me wrong Even when the nights felt long When others left To Him I cleft Nearer to Thee My Parter of the Red Sea I have faith of a mustard seed And the spirit of an unruly steed Nothing can stop me now As these curtains close, I take a bow Stonewalled again Even though we’re best friends I can’t break down your wall I just pray brick by brick it falls One day soon Heart-wrenching tears fall like monsoons My baby don’t love me no more My mind keeps searching for the door While my heart lies shattered on the floor Seeping through the cracks Knowing we’ll never come back This was not what I wanted Realizing your feelings for me were never flaunted Accountability for my falls You gotta meet me halfway—just like Duty Calls Frankly My Love, now I don’t give a fuck Gave too many chances to man after man Time to get focused on His Master Plan He gives more than I imagined while holding empty hands Praying to receive what God has for me It’s a shame that losing you was clearly meant to be You have gone your way I have gone mine Thought we had a love That would stand the test of time Instead what you’ve shown Is just how much I’ve grown Aware of my past So grateful storms don’t last Instead the showers come To strengthen what’s begun Hearing sermons in the silence When normally I’d choose violence I sit and listen Waiting for Spirit’s vision In your silence I can hear God’s voice is so crystal clear Saying all I need to know Is trust Him, follow Him, and go Don’t swim against the current, Baby Or you’ll be swept away Carried to a destination That you were never meant to stay God gives intuition Though some call it superstition He’s never steered me wrong Even when the nights felt long When others left To Him I cleft Nearer to Thee My Parter of the Red Sea I have faith of a mustard seed And the spirit of an unruly steed Nothing can stop me now Before these curtains close, I take a bow
