Exactly 10 years ago, four teenaged best friends and brothers set out on a journey. A journey of music, an adventure of a lifetime. Now a decade later, they present to you another Redeemed Quartet original: one laden with a message near and dear to our hearts. The Voice of the Silent” is a call to prayer; an entreaty to listen. Will we stand for young and old; for yesterday and tomorrow? May God give us strength to side with the helpless and unheard in our generation- for as the song pleads with us— “the voice of the silent is calling out to you!”
Lyrics:
The Voice Of The Silent
He’s looking out the window
The tears run down his face
Trying to remember
The things he’d like to say
The jokes he used to tell them
The tales he used to spin
He longs for just a moment
To tell them once again
He lost his voice last summer
Now sitting in this chair
He‘s handing out a smile
He only gets a stare
The lessons he could teach them
They’ll never hear him say
If only he could show them
The way to live today
Chorus:
He’d love to say it
But he never got the chance
The world all around
Wouldn’t give a second glance
Behind the silence
There’s a beating heart, it’s true
The voice of the silent
Is calling out to you
Her tiny little eyes
Are grinning up at me
Her hand around my finger
She’s alive and she can breathe
But in a darkened alley
An unborn babies cry
Is smothered as a mother
Signs away a child’s life
A million little voices that you may never hear
A million precious heartbeats
Does anybody care
So many take advantage
Of children in this land
Behind the awful silence
Will no one take a stand?
Chorus 2:
They would tell you
But never got the chance
The world all around them
Gave no second glance
Behind the silence
Was a heartbeat there’s no doubt
The voice of the silent too long has been shut out
Chorus 3:
The old and the young
We toss them both away
We’re killing tomorrow
Neglecting yesterday
Who will stand up
If you never do
The voice of the silent
is calling out to you!
I am quite surprised by the low number of views. The title gives it away. So how many launched it and turned that blind-eye. Continuing to overlook the need before us. They don't want to get involved or even acknowledge it is occurring. The daily child trafficking at our southern Border. It matters not to a cold heart. You can ignore it, but it is true, nonetheless. You will also stand before a mighty God someday and give an account. The Bible warns us there would be days like this and we have arrived.
