Verse 1:
Compass broken, map useless, no familiar landmark
Every step feels wrong without a clear path ahead.
I’ve been going random directions, doing random things
Though it felt lazy to just stand still and wait instead.
I’ve been waiting a long time but hear nothing
only the the rustle of trees and the calls of birds
As though my prayer cast adrift in a bottle,
floating endlessly in the cosmos and in return…
Silence…
Chorus:
Oh Abba, why are you silent?
I need to hear your voice; I need your guidance.
Answer me O Lord, my God!
How do I know you’re still with me?
How do I know you’re not angry?
When all I hear… is silence?
Verse 2:
Somehow I thought if I just tried to find my own way,
that perhaps I would stumble upon hope's faint glow.
From the dark come the sly allegation "divine aid for only feet that move"
But I'm done listening to that venom from the depths below
It’s agonizing, this urgency, a sickening churning,
to do something in a world going to perdition.
But without that gentle whisper, a vision, or dream,
then a soldier going to battle without direction…
Silence…
Bridge:
I will wait for you and
continue to praise your name.
It’s never your fault I know-
got only myself to blame.
I confess my iniquity.
I am sorry for my sin.
But if you remain deaf to me,
how do I know where to begin?
