Thurlow Weed - When the silence takes a voice - текст песни (слова)

1. When the silence takes a voice
 it may not be soft and mild:
 after years of muted peace
 words may thunder, fierce and wild.
 
 2. John came like a storm from God,
 and a crowd was drawn to hear
 what the silence had prepared:
 "Turn to God for God is near!"
 
 3. Near us now, though senses strain,
 strain to recognize the form
 God may take and manifest
 in the silence and the storm.
 
 4. But our hearts search out that form,
 through the advent of the years,
 as we turn and turn again
 and again know God is near.
