THE SILENT ONE
I was there for His trial and His scourging,when they accused Him of crimes He'd not done;
But I spoke not a word in His defense,I was "The Silent One."
I was there as He struggled up Calvary,as dark clouds covered the sun;
And when they nailed His torn flesh to the cross,I was "The Silent One."
I was there when they cast lots for His garment,As they jeered and heckled in fun;
And when the spear was thrust deep in His side,I was "The Silent One."
I saw Him die for all mankind,And when it was "finished" and done;
He raised Himself up as He promised,yet-I was "The Silent One."
And now, everyday I encounter,lost souls sent my way by God's Son;
Still I act as though I don't know Him,I am "The Silent One."
Dear Lord, when at last I'm before you,when my race on earth is run;
Will you speak up for me to the Father?Or will YOU be "The Silent One?"
