Then God whispers in the silence,
"Since I lost my only Son,
I can comfort grieving parents
'til my Kingdom fully comes."

God can see disasters coming
when we try to get away.
When the twisting wind and flooding
turn our world a greenish gray.

Yet God whispers in the silence,
"In the tumult of the storm,
I won't ever leave you orphaned.
if by faith you've been twice-born."

God knows when our own tsunamis
wash away our inner peace.
When a doctor's diagnosis
triggers worries that won't cease.

But God whispers in the silence,
"You can make it. You'll survive.
Even if you're taken under,
by My grace you'll be alive."

God invites us to be trusting
when we find that faith is hard.
When we're fearful for our safety
and our nerves are frayed or jarred.

Still God whispers in the silence,
"Even when your faith is weak,
I will keep your feet from stumbling
when your way is dark and bleak."
