Learn more about this song

 
The darkness falls and all is still.
The street lights die and there is no vision.
The mist descends in a blanket of chill,
As the beating of my heart echoes without end.
But the silence is my friend.

I like to think I'm in God's hands.
I like to think it's here in my darkness,
Holding my heart, breathing in the fire,
Giving me strength to live in the mire of my life.

Nothing to see, yet nothing to fear.
The stillness reigns in a quiet splendour.
Searching for answers and finding them here,
As the beating of my heart echoes without end.
The silence is my friend.

I like to feel I'm in God's hands.
I like to feel it's here in my darkness,
Holding my hand as it leads the way,
Guiding me on to the dawn of a new day.

Blinded by the brilliance of a new day's light,
Visions come in the night and restore my sight.
The veil is lifted and new warmth flows in
As the beating of my heart echoes without end.
The silence was my friend.

I know that I was in God's hands.
I know that it was there in my darkness
Guarding my heart safely with great love.
God always knew that I would rise above my strife.

I know that I am in God's hands.
I know it's with me when I walk in darkness.
In the beating of my heart I can hear the name.
With every breath I know that I am that I am.
