I Thought God was Silent

I Thought God was Silent

Sarah Sparks

I thought God was silent
Because I never heard Him speak,
And when I asked for answers
This is what was said to me.

Did you wake up this morning?
And does your heart still beat?
Then the sovereign God of all says,
"Live another day for me."

Are your plans so often thwarted?
Is time wasting away?
Hear, the God who knows all things says,
"I am planning out your day."

Are you longing for a dream
That God has not given yet?
Listen, hear Him speaking, He says,
"Here, have me instead."

Do you wonder if He's listening?
Are your prayers even heard?
"Before you even asked I answered,
I have given you my Word."

Do you feel He is withholding?
Do you wonder if He loves?
Hear the voice of God say,
"I have given you my Son."

I thought God was silent
But the problem is my ear.
For His words are never ending
If I can learn to hear.
