You didn't save me
You didn't save me so that I could keep my mouth shut
12 voices, piano, cello and cymbala with just a smidgeon of programmed percussion. Influenced by Bulgarian choir music, Never Be Silent is probably my most experimental and searingly honest spiritual song yet. Let me know your thoughts.
You
didn't save me,
You
didn't save me so that I could keep my mouth shut.
You
didn't rescue me,
You
didn't rescue me so I could play dumb.
While
every brick in this building longs to shout out
Oh
Jesus loosen my ungrateful tongue
So
that my heart may sing
So
that my heart may sing to you
So
that my heart may sing to you
And
never be silent
Never
be silent
Never
be silent
You
didn't heal me,
You
didn't heal me so that I could take more poison.
You
didn't ransom me,
You
didn't ransom me to leave me a slave.
While
all around me the songs of those you brought home
They
break the silence like you broke their chains
God
can a dead heart sing?
God
can a dead heart sing to you?
Father
you cut me,
Father
you cut into the branch to make it fruitful
Father
you punish me,
Father
you punish me to make me grow true
Help
me believe that the knife
Precedes
the harvest
God
make my dead heart sing...
God
can a dead heart sing?...
