When I Cannot Speak Your Name

Song Length 4:45 Genre Pop - Religious, Folk - Religious

Lyrics

Be with me when I cannot speak Your name,
I?m choking in the pools of my despair.
What if I cry and You?re not really there?
Is there a chance You?d love me just the same
When I cannot speak Your name.

I keep Your portrait in a gilded frame.
That crucifix just mocks me from the wall.
What if I?m really not Your child at all?
That terror has extinguished every flame
Till I cannot speak Your name.

(Chorus)
What if I use my final breath to pray
And find You do not answer anyway?
Will I only have myself to blame
Or will You be there
When I cannot speak Your name?

I hide my heart where none can reach,
Can I not live this life I preach?
The well-worn pages burn in the refuse of my fall,
Was Your book only made of paper after all?

What if my final chance already came?
What if my all is not enough?
If You should call me on this bluff
Still somehow You?d bear this doubter?s shame
When I cannot speak Your name.

(Chorus)
What if I use my final breath to pray
And find You do not answer anyway?
Will I only have myself to blame
Or will You be there??

You?re with me when I dare not,
You?re with me when I will not,
You love me when I cannot speak Your name.
