[Verse 1]
Hello, my Lord, I knelt again,
To see Your wounds, to feel Your pain,
A crown of thorns, a sky grown dim,
A broken world, grown cold and grim,
And in that hush I saw the veil was torn—
The cost was borne…
In the silence on the cross.
[Verse 2]
In restless dreams I walked alone,
Among the stones and bloodstained bones,
When lightning cracked the temple high,
And whispered prayers began to die,
Then I beheld a hill where mercy chose to fall—
The world stood small…
In the silence on the cross.
[Verse 3]
And in the naked sky I saw
The weight of love, the weight of law,
No trumpet call, no angel’s cry,
Just heavy hearts and questions why,
And the voice of God, it thundered not at all—
He let Him fall…
To the silence on the cross.
[Verse 4]
“Fools,” said I, “you do not know
The price of peace, the depths below,
He spoke in blood and breathed in pain,
Yet all we heard was wind and rain,”
But still His eyes declared what words could never say—
He made a way…
Through the silence on the cross.
[Verse 5]
And now I live beneath that tree,
Where love was nailed to set me free,
And every dawn I hear it still—
The holy hush on Calv’ry’s hill,
Where death was drowned and grace began its final cost—
Redemption lost…
In the silence on the cross.
