lirik lagu theyfw-gabe - the unanswered "amen"
(verse 1)
the silence in the kitchen screams louder than a train
i still set out your coffee mug, praying for the rain
to wash away the memory of the day the doctor called
told me the foundation of our life had finally stalled
we built this home on bedrock, on love that wouldn’t shake
but faith feels like a hollow shield, for goodness gracious sake
the kids came by last tuesday, their eyes like your own
they hug me tight, then leave me here, terribly alone
(chorus)
i used to know the meaning of the word forever
it was you beside me, through every kind of weather
now i’m down here bargainin’, with a god i can’t quite see
askin’ why he took the best part part of my family
i kneel down every night, i recite the words you taught
but all my prayers are questions, all my miracles un~bought
and the loudest sound in this whole house, is the unanswered “amen”
(verse 2)
we shared a worn~out bible, marked up page by page
we promised to grow old together, turning that final stage
i find the note you tucked inside, next to corinthians thirteen
it just says, “my love is endless,” the sweetest thing i’ve seen
i try to find the strength, in the sermons and the hymns
but my soul is just a broken glass, cracked along the rims
our children talk of destiny, and heavens promised plan
but it doesn’t ease the hunger for the touch of this young man
(chorus)
i used to know the meaning of the word forever
it was you beside me, through every kind of weather
now i’m down here bargainin’, with a god i can’t quite see
askin’ why he took the best part part of my family
i kneel down every night, i recite the words you taught
but all my prayers are questions, all my miracles un~bought
and the loudest sound in this whole house, is the unanswered “amen”
(bridge)
my faith is like a fl!cker, a candle in the breeze
i pray you’re sittin’ in glory, beneath those golden trees
but the distance is a poison, and the waiting is a curse
and i just can’t reconcile the love we had with this empty he~rs~
(outro)
the fire in my heart has turned to ash
i pray for light, but hear the thunder’s crash
my spirit’s cold, my soul is worn and bent
i asked for grace, but silence is what’s sent
and all that echoes in this empty place
is that unanswered “amen” without a trace
