Speak into the Silence

When the world grows quiet without me, And my footsteps fade away, Will you walk that road behind me Just to find where I lay? Will you read the name they gave me, Carved in stone and washed by rain? All the words I never told you, Living there in vain. I don’t need forever from you. Just don’t let me disappear. Stand by my grave, Just for a moment. Tell me I still live in you. Even if the years keep moving, Hold on to a piece of Truth. If heaven keeps what love remembers, If souls don’t fade away, Then speak into the silence When you stand by my grave. I was never good at showing All the things I held inside. I was fighting silent battles while you stood right By my side. Now the wind will tell my story through the Leaves and through the rain. Every prayer I left unfinished Whispers out your name. And if God is standing with me, Then I’m not alone at all. Stand by my grave, Don’t be afraid now. I’m not lost, I’m just unseen. Every tear you ever cried for me Still means everything. If mercy writes a better ending, If grace outlives the pain, Then leave your heart beside me When you stand by my grave. Don’t bring me all your sorrow. Don’t stay too long in pain. I’m not beneath the earth, my love. I’m somewhere past the rain. Stand by my grave And feel the silence Turn into A quiet peace. All the love we left unfinished, God will finally complete. If there’s a place where souls awaken, Where broken hearts are safe, Then I’ll be waiting in that light Beyond my grave. Stand by my grave, But don’t you cry. I’m still alive On the other side.
