Eric Champlin – Silence lyrics

(feat. Mikayla Jackson)

Broken heartbeats but I keep breathing
Your mouth, it speaks, but I can’t hear it
Peace over me
Peace over me
Peace over me
Peace over me
In the silence

Can’t breathe, my life took a turn for the worst and
I can’t even see if my life has a purpose
Patiently waiting for tables to turn
Hating the moment when love hurts
Dedicated but I’m losing patience
Praying to God can you hear me or not
I’m tearing apart every part of my thoughts
I’m under water, I found a pocket of oxygen
Looking for a hope that drowned in it and I’m lost again
Silence, it isn’t quiet like inside my mind is
Spinning in circles and screaming in fear that God isn’t here
‘Cause if He was here then why can’t I hear Him? Wait!
Can you hear Him? I don’t even know what I’m saying

Broken heartbeats but I keep breathing
Your mouth, it speaks, but I can’t hear it
Peace over me
Peace over me
Peace over me
Peace over me
In the silence

Mirror on the wall, yeah, if God is here then can He hear me at all?
I’m hearing stories I believe in and
I’m scared to think I’m never changing
I’m ignoring my inside I swear that I’m fine
But really I’m dying like why is He silent
Spell Your name in the sky, I’m alive
My body your temple, your voice is to die for
I’m lost inside a memory of the innocent me
Without these people telling me who to be, hard to breathe
A teacher won’t talk when you’re taking a test and
Healing is hard with a stone in your chest
They keep telling me that the truth is out
Listen up, make it count, yeah
Who holds the keys to my freedom now?

Broken heartbeats but I keep breathing
Your mouth, it speaks, but I can’t hear it
Peace over me
Peace over me
Peace over me
Peace over me
In the silence

Consider it joy when you face trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Rejoice in your suffering, knowing that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance character, and character hope.

Broken heartbeats but I keep breathing
Your mouth, it speaks, but I can’t hear it
Peace over me
Peace over me
Peace over me
Peace over me
