Promise in the Silence

Intro

Four centuries of waiting

No voice across the land

Verse

Empires rose and kingdoms faded

Tongues and nations spread like seed

You were shaping every moment

For the Word the world would need

Pre-chorus

Heaven never turned away

Though no prophet spoke Your name

Chorus

Promise in the silence

You were forming life within

Promise in the silence

Every year was leading Him

Not abandoned, not forgotten

You were holding every day

Promise in the silence

Till the Word came down to stay

Verse

No army and no trumpet sounding

Just a manger, just a cry

After all the long preparing

Heaven opened with a child

Pre-chorus

You were never doing nothing

You were writing every line

Chorus

Promise in the silence

You were forming life within

Promise in the silence

Every year was leading Him

Not abandoned, not forgotten

You were holding every day

Promise in the silence

Till the Word came down to stay

Bridge

In the beginning was the Word

And the Word was with You, God

Then the Word took on our flesh

And the silence broke with love

Chorus

Promise in the silence

You were forming life within

Promise in the silence

Every year was leading Him

Not abandoned, not forgotten

You are still the same today

Promise in the silence

Jesus, You have come to stay
