"Numb" (0928/08)

God I feel so numb 

silence in the midst of praise 

Their voices rise to meet you 

but my voice I cannot raise 



Can you hear my whispers? 

Does my heart reach out for You? 

Oh God I can't feel You near! 

Is my heart even beating true? 



Silence now surrounds me 

I'm all alone; or are You here? 

I succumb to lack of emotion 

Being forever numb... this I fear 



One moment I long for you 

I can't count the tears I cry 

But a moment later, is that my voice?? 

It rings with the crowd, "CRUCIFY" 



God forgive me for my silence 

when all around me are songs of praise 

Remorese and guilt overwhelm me 

for the moment my voice did raise 



Can you hear my silent cry 

the gag keeps me from screaming Your Name 

Oh God how I want to love You! 

Please hold me close and cover my shame! 



Can you hear my whispers? 

Does my heart reach out for You? 

I succumb to my lack of emotion 

For my feelings can never be true
