Sovereign Silence

Is it the brooding before dawn?


Is it a missed-kissed bower?





Is this your Sovereign silence 
The brooding before dawn 
A test of faith’s endurance 

The place where you reveal 
The power of your Spirit 
To conquer Belial 

After earthquake and fire 
A Message you deliver 
To temper heart’s desire 

Is this glory’s hiatus 
Of three days in the tomb 
Before the Rock of Ages 

Is this a mist-kissed bower 
Hope’s silent suffering 
The bud before the flower
