Original lyrics
ENEmpty room, heavy breath
Silence louder than the steps
Knees on the floor in the dead of night
Words feel weak, no burning light
Prayers rise up then disappear
Like they were never meant to hear
Won't stand still, the silence grows
No answer comes, no river flows
A heart grows tired beneath the weight
And lonely thoughts begin to speak
But faith was never built on sight
And truth still lives beyond the night
He is here, He is near
Even when the skies aren't clear
Where the heart is torn apart
God is closer than the dark
Eyes can fail and hands can shake
Minds can bend and spirits break
The promises were never dust
And heaven's world was built on trust
No thunder, no fire fell
No voice broke through the prison shell
Yet deep inside where no eye sees
His peace still fought the war in me
He is here, He is near
Even when no voice is clear
When the tears fall in the dark
God still calls the hidden heart
He is here, He remains
Through the silence, through the pain
Eyes may fail, but faith can see
God has never left His sheet
The ceiling stayed
The silence stayed
But so did He
So did He
