It's enough to drive a man crazy
Or break a man's faith
It's enough to make him wonder
If he's ever been sane
When he's bleeding for comfort
From thy staff and thy rod
And the heavens' only answer
Is the silence of God

And it'll shake a man's timbers
When he loses his heart
When he has to remember
What broke him apart
And 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
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
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
