lyrics

THE SILENT YEARS
Based on Genesis 27-47
Music and lyrics by Matthew David Fritz

In my supplanting days, full of unrighteous ways,
All that my hands had received came through the ones I deceived.
Fled from my father's land, into my uncle’s hand;
Though tender love I would find, enduring dealings remind me of the
Person that I used to be.

And after all these silent years,
Bereft of all my heart contained,
Just as an emptied jar of tears,
I’m open to be filled with heavenly rain.

Knowing my strength was too much. I was subdued by His touch.
Odious trouble befell, pressed on to Bethel to dwell.
Under the burial oak, there was my comfort revoked.
Through bitter loss, life was gained, never would I be the same
Person that I used to be.

Even though signs would point to his end,
Maybe perhaps I’d see him again.
God only knows as much, so by his gracious touch
I would just open to Him.

(chorus x2)
