Because there are no words

You have led me to the sadness, I have carried this pain
On a back bruised, nearly broken- I'm crying out to You

I will sing of Your mercy that leads me through valleys of sorrow to rivers of joy

When death, like a gypsy, comes to steal what I love  
I will still look to the heavens, I will still seek your face 
But I fear You aren't listening, because there are no words 
Just the stillness and the hunger for a faith that assures

I will sing of Your mercy that leads me through valleys of sorrow to rivers of joy

Alleluia

While we wait for rescue with our eyes tightly shut 
Face to the ground, using our hands to cover the fatal cut 
Though the pain is an ocean tossing us around, around, around  
You have calmed greater waters, and higher mountains have come down

-"The Valley Song" by Jars of Clay
