When silence falls, you'll be the song within my heart.

What do we do when darkness reigns? Jesus had a very lonely and heart breaking moment of sorrow in the garden before going to the cross, where although His disciples were with Him, they could not stay awake to support Him and He was alone to face the darkness. He asked them to stay awake but it didn't happen. Instead He prayed to the One that He knew was there and sweat great drops of blood- the agony weighed on Him of the horrible task ahead.

To trust God is a choice in our suffering. It's meaningless to talk about our faith in God when things are going well. We see how much we really trust when things get hard. To choose to continue believing and to have faith takes courage and the belief that God loves us and is with us no matter what we are going through. It takes the hope that He will not only get us through it but that we will come out with victory!

This song speaks to my heart. It reminds me a lot of my broken childhood filled with abuse, and the way God was the song in my heart when silence fell. But it also speaks to my moments of darkness in the present. I know that I serve a God that will heal me, help me and guide me- just as He has always been faithful and done so.

I've had questions, without answers
I've known sorrow, i have known pain
but theres one thing, that i'll cling to
you are faithful, Jesus your true

When hope is lost, i'll call you saviour
when pain surrounds, i'll call you healer
when silence falls,
you'll be the song within my heart

In the lone hour,
of my sorrow
through the darkest
night of my soul
you surround me,
and sustain me
my defender,
forever more

When hope is lost, i'll call you saviour
when pain surrounds, i'll call you healer
when silence falls,
you'll be the song within my heart

Oh you're so good to me.
You've always been good to me.
So trust worthy.

I will praise you, i will praise you
when the tears fall, still i will sing to you
i will praise you, Jesus praise you
Through the suffereing still i will sing

How faithful and true.
You sustain me through and through
You are hope and truth
You're my spring of living water.
In the lone hour you're there.
Lord, In my sorrow you're there.
You're my healer.

Like a well watered garden
who's springs never fail
you're faithful and true.
Like a well watered garden
who's springs never fail
You're my spring that never fails.
