Break The Silence

 Lord, how often have I asked, sought, and knocked, 

Yet, hearing from You lately has come to naught,

I know You see and I know You hear whatever I say, 

I don't understand why Your voice is silently stayed, 

You say we'll find You if we search with all our heart, 

I must be doing something really wrong on my part, 

Your silence is maddening and I plead it will soon break, 

Pleading You will speak clearly for Your merciful sake,

My ear is attentive and my motives are purely clean, 

It is You I desire most and on Your truth wholly lean, 

Please break the silence and speak to this longing soul, 

Your words are life to me and with them I'm made whole.
