Key: C Major
[Intro]
C G Am F
C G
It's enough to drive a man crazy, it'll break a man's faith
Am G
It's enough to make him wonder, if he's ever been sane
F Am
When he's bleating for comfort from Thy staff and Thy rod
C G
And the Heaven's only answer is the silence of God
C G
It'll shake a man's timbers when he loses his heart
Am G
When he has to remember what broke him apart
F Am
This yoke may be easy but this burden is not
C Am
When the crying fields are frozen by the silence of God
F Am
And if a man has got to listen to the voices of the mob
F Am
Who are reeling in the throes of all the happiness they've got
F
When they tell you all their troubles
Am
Have been nailed up to that cross
Dm C
Then what about the times when even followers get lost?
C G
'Cause we all get lost sometimes
C G
There's a statue of Jesus on a monastery knoll
Am F
In the hills of Kentucky, all quiet and cold
C G
And He's kneeling in the garden, as silent as a Stone
Am G
All His friends are sleeping and He's weeping all alone
F Am
And the man of all sorrows, he never forgot
C G
What sorrow is carried by the hearts that he bought
F Am
So when the questions dissolve into the silence of God
C G
The aching may remain but the breaking does not
F Am
The aching may remain but the breaking does not
C G
In the holy, lonesome echo of the silence of God
[Outro]
C G Am F
