🎵 WHAT NO WORDS CAN SAY

Verse 1
Down a long and lonely road I walk all on my own
Sun hides behind the clouds where my heart has grown
Day looks just like night now, nothing feels quite near
All I know is one thing: Lord, I follow You right here
They say life’s but vapor, like smoke that drifts away
But I just take one step at a time, one day at a time each day

Verse 2
I write, I cry, I speak what words can never hold
The world don’t understand it, and sometimes I don’t unfold
It’s an empty space deep down — not that You’re not there —
Just arms I’ll never hold again, a love beyond compare
I walked all through Bahia, searching for her trace
Found comfort at my daddy’s side, his warm embrace

Chorus
Then too soon my love went home, and I hurt twice as deep —
Grieved for him, and for my babies that I saw weep
My whole world shook and shifted, fell apart once more
But one truth I keep close to me, deep down in my core:
Love is the road we all must walk, the only way that’s true
I keep on loving broken, ‘cause Your love pulls me through

Verse 3
And just when I was rising, my daddy too was gone
Old wounds opened wide again, the hurt pressed on and on
I stood for my children, gave them strength to carry on
But deep inside I felt it all, like everything was gone
Like Elijah worn and weary underneath the desert sky
SPEAK TO ME LORD! PLEASE TELL ME WHY — SPEAK AS YOU DID TO HIM THAT NIGHT!
My prayers get weak and wandering, my mind goes far away
But somehow strength for weeping comes to me every day

Bridge
Don’t blame them if they cannot see the weight I carry now
It’s not their job to know it all, or understand somehow
But You, Lord — You know every tear, every silent cry
No dictionary word could tell how deep this grief doth lie
Not sadness without hope — just truth, and longing, and Your hand
That holds me when I cannot stand

Final Chorus
When everyone has left me, when all I love is gone
Only You and I remain, Lord — just You and I alone
You are the Rock unshaken, the shelter in the storm
Speak to me, Lord — keep my spirit warm
Let Your will be done in me, whatever comes my way
In Your quiet presence I will stay 🎸🤍
