Silent ache

It is amazing what silence can do. Countless moments I wasn’t sure what to do.

what to say, how to be brave?

Where do you go from here, I felt like I disappeared.

I open my mouth to pray, but didn’t know what to say.

My words where going to break, but all I could do was ache.

My eyes looked up to heaven. Lord, I give in.

My hands where raised, I give Him praise.

Do you hear my ache? It was silent for goodness sake.

Words did not need to be said, He knew what was in my head.

I stood before my king, surrendering all of me.

My words where not a plea or a scream.

All I could say was let my words be prayed in faith, and He heard my silent ache.
