Be Quiet for the Gospel

The wooden boards, they creak
As scared as people resting their knees
Bow their heads in silent agreement
I stare down at them, disgusted
For they have sinned
[For they have sinned]

So I lift my voice and scream
[Oh God, why?] Why did you
[Put stars in the sky]
It seems their light
Should pierce my eyes
[And make me blind]

I've never seen you
Don't think I ever will
Yet I believe you
And I doubt you still
[Doubt you still]

With open arms
I give myself away
Give myself to the stars
When will this end?
That's not for me to say
[For me to say]

So I lift my eyes and cry
[Oh God, why?] Why did you
Put [hopes in the sky]
It seems their truth
Should [pierce my heart and make me numb]
Make me numb

All of these questions
They make me wonder
Does what doesn't kill me
[Really make me stronger?]

I call out
To all of you who see
I call out
To all of you who make belief
And carry me home
[Carry me home]
