When You Are Near
Embracing Silence: Discovering Peace and Healing in Proximity
Lyrics
There's no need to say a thing,
Expressing that words are unnecessary in the presence of someone.
When I'm before you in this silence
Feeling a sense of tranquility when in the silence before the person.
I feel refreshed with peace
Experiencing a rejuvenating and peaceful sensation.
Break this noise that binds the voice
Asking for the removal of distracting noise that hinders communication.
That tries speak open up my eyes to see
Desiring clarity to perceive the person's benevolent influence.
Your gracious sovereign reach
Acknowledging the person's gracious and authoritative presence.
It's hard to talk when I feel that you are near,
Expressing difficulty in verbal communication when feeling the person's proximity.
When all is quiet it's the beauty that I hear,
Finding beauty in the quiet moments and perceiving it as an auditory experience.
This hidden place where I know that you calm my fears
Referring to a concealed place where the person brings comfort and dispels fears.
I know that you've washed my tears
Acknowledging the person's role in comforting and wiping away tears.
The seasons of change I've faced
Reflecting on experiences of change without being deeply harmed.
Have never left me wounded
Stating that the challenges have left scars but not profound wounds.
Only scars of hurt
Emphasizing that the scars are from hurt but not deeply ingrained.
But never deeply rooted
Reiterating the resilience against profound emotional damage.
This healing I have felt
Expressing a felt sense of healing from past experiences.
No burden can replace
Claiming that no burden can overshadow the redemptive hope gained.
Redemptive hope has been the story of my pain
Highlighting redemptive hope as the prevailing theme in the narrative of pain.
All is lost without the breath of life you give
Stressing the importance of the life-giving breath provided by the person.
And you give so much
Acknowledging the abundance of giving from the person.
I want nothing more than you so here's my heart
Expressing a deep desire for the person, offering one's heart.
