[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
