Lyrics

I drew the lot, then I walked in alone
To the room where the incense burns
Gray in my beard and a hush in my house
And a prayer I'd stopped praying, but still wanted heard
Then something moved at the right of the altar
And every word I'd rehearsed went still
Fear not, he said, and he called me by name
The prayer you stopped praying was heard all the same
All those years of silence, He had heard my plea
And the answer is closer than I dared believe
She'll bear you a son, and you'll name him John
He'll turn many in Israel back to the Lord
And I stood there counting the years in my bones
Then I counted them twice, then I counted some more
Then all those years came rushing back at once
Not faith, just the old prayer I'd learned to live without
How shall I know this, I heard myself say
Though everything I'd waited for was standing there
I am Gabriel, I stand before God
And the sign I asked for came before the words could leave
Fear not, he said, and I couldn't say a word
But the prayer I stopped praying, heaven had heard
All those years of silence, He had heard my plea
Now it's my turn to be silent
