Do we hear God speak?

Tears fall, do we heed the call?
When we lift a prayer to heaven, does He hear at all?
Struggling through the pain we bear
Our hearts don't feel that He is there

Do we hear God speak, in the silence of our pain?
Does the search for answers why, only seem to end in vain?
Do we hear God speak, when we listen for His voice?
So silently He whispers, do we hear God speak?

Heartache can cause the will to break
Day by day we still endure it for enduring sake
Words He gives are spoken clear
Draw near to God and you will hear

Do we hear God speak, in the silence of our pain?
Does the search for answers why, only seem to end in vain?
Do we hear God speak, when we listen for His voice?
So silently He whispers, do we hear God speak?
