When You Don't Know What to Say
When You Don’t Know What to Say
Words & Music by Steve Siler
Someone you love is hurting
and your powerless to make it stop
You want to move Heaven
You want to move earth
And your praying with everything you’ve got
Praying for an answer
But only questions come
What’s to be said?
What’s to be done?
When you don’t have the words
To take away the pain
When someone who means the world to you
Can’t take another day
You can speak just by your presence
With a love that stays
and trust that God is in the silence
When you don’t know what to say
It’s hard to sit with the sadness
It’s uncomfortable to let it be
The air feels so heavy
The ache feels so raw
And you wonder if maybe you should leave
Is there some wisdom?
A scripture you could share?
What would bring comfort?
What would bring care?
When you don’t have the words
To take away the pain
When someone who means the world to you
Can’t take another day
You can speak compassion
With a love that waits
and trust that God is in the silence
When you don’t know what to say
When you don’t know what to say
The Spirit intercedes
and in the stillness
There is room to breathe
You can speak just by the closeness
in a tender way
and trust that God is in the silence
When you don’t know what to say
Trust that God is in the silence
When you don’t know what to say
