Like you and I she had seen hard times,
But never once had she resigned
Her human pride and got down on her knees
And lifted up a despairing plea.
“Oh, God, I know we have never spoken
So let this prayer be a sort of token
That I have reached my last wits end;
I want you to know this is a last ditch effort.
“And it’s like Praying to the Walls,
Echoes answer, Despair calls,
But just as I would turn my head
I hear you silent whisper.
Yes, I hear your silent whisper.
“My tears have fed me day and night
And I have said, ‘Where is your God?’
Now see how I, I am crumbling fast
This prayer will be my first and last.
“Do I hear you because I want to?
Do I feel you because I need to?
I don’t care what deaf men say;
I hear your silent whisper!
Yes, I hear your silent whisper!
