The Silence Of God

Biography:

Andrew Peterson has earned a place as one of Christian music’s most respected singer/songwriters, crafting music that splits the difference between groundbreaking folk-rock band Caedmon’s Call and the late, great Rich Mullins. His string of artistically excellent records began with the top 10 radio single “Nothing To Say,” and includes the lush Love & Thunder, Easter-themed Resurrection Letters, Vol. 2, and his newest masterwork Counting Stars, which took the number one spot on the iTunes Christian chart on its release.

[Verse 1]
G D
It's enough to drive a man crazy, it'll break a man's faith
Em G
It's enough to make him wonder, if he's ever been sane
C Em
When he's bleating for comfort from Thy staff and Thy rod
D/F# G
And the Heaven's only answer is the silence of God

[Verse 2]
G D
It'll shake a man's timbers when he loses his heart
Em G
When he has to remember what broke him apart
C G
This yoke may be easy but this burden is not
D/F# G
When the crying fields are frozen by the silence of God

[Chorus 1]
C D Cadd9 G
And if a man has got to listen to the voices of the mob
C D Cadd9 G
Who are reeling in the throes of all the happiness they've got
Em7 D
When they tell you all their troubles
Cadd9 G
Have been nailed up to that cross
Am7 G/B Cadd9
Then what about the times when even followers get lost?
Cadd9
'Cause we all get lost sometimes

[Verse 3]
G D
There's a statue of Jesus on a monastery knoll
Em G
In the hills of Kentucky, all quiet and cold
C G
And He's kneeling in the garden, as silent as a Stone
D/F# G
All His friends are sleeping and He's weeping all alone

[Chorus 2]
C D Cadd9 G
And the man of all sorrows, he never forgot
C D Cadd9 G
What sorrow is carried by the hearts that he bought
C Em
So when the questions dissolve into the silence of God
D/F# G
The aching may remain but the breaking does not
C Em
The aching may remain but the breaking does not
D/F# G
In the holy, lonesome echo of the silence of God
