Tired of telling you,
You'll have me,
When I know you really don't
I'm tired of telling you,
I'll follow,
When I know I really won't,
So I'd rather stand here speechless,
With no great words to say,
Cause if my silence is more truthful,
Then my ears can't hear how to walk in your ways.
[Chorus:]
In the silence you are speaking,
In the quiet, I can fell the fire
And it's burning, burning deeply,
I know that is that you desire to be silent,
In me.
And oh Jesus can you hear me,
My soul is screaming out,
And this broken will cries teach me,
What your kingdom's all about,
So you light my heart to fell you,
To feel your holy name,
Then create a live of worship,
In the spirit and truth of your loving ways.
[Chorus:]
In the silence you are speaking,
In the quiet, I can fell the fire,
And it's burning, burning deeply,
I know that is that you desire to be silent,
In me,
To be silent in me.
Too much noise in my soul oh God,
There's too much noise in my soul oh God,
Too many voices in my soul oh God,
Gone, too many things in my soul oh God,
That's not like you so burn it up, burn it up, burn it up oh God,
Burn it up, burn it up, burn it up,
Burn it up set it all on fire,
Burn it up, burn it up, burn it up,
Everything.
That's fighting against your will in me,
Everything I don't care what it is so God,
That's fighting against your will in me,
God put it in your hand and burn it up [x2]
Burn it up [x2]
Put it in your hand,
Set it on fire oh God.
Burn it up [x3]
