Silence

Song Meaning

Anthony Evans names the specific problem before offering any resolution to it: "questions left unanswered, feels like my prayers are hitting these walls." The song doesn't rush past that honesty — verse two admits "my faith is getting weak" after being here so long with no clear response from God.


What shifts isn't the silence itself but what Evans decides to do with it: "maybe You're speaking through the silence, maybe it's all I need to hear." That's a deliberately modest claim, not a triumphant one — asking only for patience in the quiet rather than for the silence to end.


The psalmist makes a similar choice, telling his own soul to wait in silence for God alone rather than demanding an explanation first. Isaiah's promise that those who wait find renewed strength, and Lamentations' conclusion that it's actually good to wait quietly, both sit behind the song's repeated resolve: "I will wait, I wait for You, as long as it takes."

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Questions left unanswered

Feels like my prayers are hitting these walls

So I’m left here wondering

If you can still hear me, hear me at all

I’ve been here so long, that my faith is getting weak


So I just have to believe, maybe You’re speaking

Through the silence, maybe it’s all I need to hear

Give me the patience in it’s quiet

I need to rest here and be okay To Wait


My frail souls guarded

When did I start not believing that You 

Ooh That You are who you promised 

you’ll be faithful to finish

What you said You would do


Although right now, I can’t hear you speaking

I will choose to believe,Maybe You’re speaking

Through the silence, maybe it’s all I need to hear

Give me the patience, if it’s quiet

I need to rest here and wait

For You as long as it takes

I will wait, I wait for You

As long as it takes, I will wait

Maybe You’re speaking, through the silence

Maybe it’s all I need to hear

Give me the patience in it’s quiet

I need to rest here and be okay To Wait


For You as long as it takes

I will wait, I wait for You

As long as it takes

I will wait For You
