So on my way to work this morning. I was listening to a song that I have listened to several times, but this time I was really moved after listening to it. It is by an amazing artist, Andrew Peterson. We were introduced to him by our best friends in college and have been listening to him every since, but I never really LISTENED to the words. You will never know the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross. He is the reason that we are living and breathing today.
Here are the lyrics to the song:
It's enough to drive a man crazy; it'll break a man's faith. It's enough to make him wonder if he's ever been sane When he's bleating for comfort from Thy staff and Thy rod And the heaven's only answer is the silence of God It'll shake a man's timbers when he loses his heart When he has to remember what broke him apart This yoke may be easy, but this burden is not When the crying fields are frozen by the silence of God And if a man has got to listen to the voices of the mob Who are reeling in the throes of all the happiness they've got When they tell you all their troubles have been nailed up to that cross Then what about the times when even followers get lost? 'Cause we all get lost sometimes...There's a statue of Jesus on a monastery knoll In the hills of Kentucky, all quiet and cold And He's kneeling in the garden, as silent as a Stone All His friends are sleeping and He's weeping all alone And the man of all sorrows, he never forgot What sorrow is carried by the hearts that he bought So when the questions dissolve into the silence of God The aching may remain, but the breaking does not The aching may remain, but the breaking does not In the holy, lonesome echo of the silence of God.
If you ever are looking for some good to listen to. Andrew Peterson is an amazing artist.
