Lyrics
Verse
Four hundred years the heavens stayed still
No prophet spoke no vision fulfilled
God in mercy held every word
Love was working though none had heard
Chorus
Silence was mercy
Silence was love
Setting the stage for the gift from above
The voice that would break it
Would change every age
The Savior of the world
The Savior of the world
Verse
What had been lost and what was to be
All held in waiting for the mystery
Time before time and time yet to come
Were gathered together when the silence was done
Chorus
Silence was mercy
Silence was love
Setting the stage for the gift from above
The voice that would break it
Would change every age
The Savior of the world
The Savior of the world
Bridge
Then came the cry in the Bethlehem night
The Word made flesh breaking through with light
One voice forever would speak for us all
Mercy fulfilled when the silence would fall
Chorus
Silence was mercy
Silence was love
Setting the stage for the gift from above
The voice that would break it
Would change every age
The Savior of the world
The Savior of the world
The Savior of the world
