Lyrics

I’m crowded in by shadows and I’ve never felt so alone
The winter wind is whistling through the cracks inside the wall
But the silence from the Heavens is the coldest thing of all
I see the storm is raging on the scattered of my flock
But though I am the shepherd, I can't reach them through the lock
Is the pavilion covering the light?
How long must I wait here
Staring blindly into night?
I am reaching for the Heavens
But I’m broken on the floor
Oh where art thou Father?
I can’t take this anymore
It’s a cruel and bitter irony
that cuts me to the core
I hold the keys of heaven,
but I cannot unlock this door
I know the wolves are hunting,
I can hear the lions roar
And the father in me is dying,
Broken upon this floor
My hands are tied God,
my hands are tied
Then the silence finally breaks
Not with thunder, but a word
The quietest whisper
That my soul has ever heard
My son, peace be unto thy soul.
Thine afflictions are a moment, just a breath, and then they go.
Now lift up your head, and look through the stone...
See the power in the seeds that you have sown.
Suddenly the prison walls are turning into glass
And I see a future glory that will come to pass!
I see the ones I wept for, they are standing in the flame
But they aren’t burning up—no, they are calling on His name!
The trial didn't break them, it forged them into steel
They are becoming something that the world cannot repeal!
And there is a time a-coming
When NOTHING shall be withheld!
No limit to the glory, no power is withheld!
We are building up a people who will greet Him when He comes
With the power of the priesthood and the beating of the drums!
Fear not what man can do
For God is making gods of you!
Thy friends do stand by thee
And nothing shall be withheld!
No, nothing is withheld.
My hands were tied...
So He could open up the sky.
