Silent Ones
JJ Heller's song 'Silence' gently draws attention to those who suffer quietly, unseen and unheard. It tells of a woman hiding her pain and a man masking his hurt with anger, both longing for someone to truly listen. The chorus challenges listeners to share in others' pain and give selflessly, remembering that God the Father has already given everything for us. The song encourages compassion and presence for the 'silent ones,' reflecting a Christ-like love that reaches out without expecting anything back. It's a tender call to notice the hurting and offer the same grace we have received.
Almost time to pack up and move on again
No one notices anyway
Tryin' hard not to show all the pain tucked away
All she needs is a voice to speak up
For the silent ones
Are you listening
Are you willing to share in their pain
Will you give without getting a thing in return
'Cause you know that your Father has done the same
He has a habit of sitting all alone
Wears a menacing look on his face
Hoping that anger will cover the hurt little boy
Who is hiding inside where it's safe
For the silent ones
Are you listening
Are you willing to share in their pain
Will you give without getting a thing in return
'Cause you know that your Father has done
More for you than you could ever repay...
