Redemptive hope: the story of my pain

Five months. Unbelievable.........

I met Jeremy Camp years ago when he was just starting out, almost immediately after he lost his first wife to cancer. He is a wonderful lyricist with the gift I so desire. He sings his story. This song tells mine...the story of my love and trust for God in the midst of tragedy.

There's no need to say a thing when I'm before you.
In this silence I feel refreshed with peace.
Break this noise that binds the voice that tries to speak.
Open my eyes to see Your gracious, sovereign reach.

It's hard to talk when I feel that You are near,
When all is quiet it's the beauty that I hear.
This hidden place where I know that You've calmed my fears.
I know that You've washed my tears.

The seasons of change I've faced have never left me wounded.
Only scars of hurt, but never deeply rooted.
This healing I have felt, no burden can replace.
Redemptive hope has been the story of my pain.

It's hard to talk when I feel that You are near,
When all is quiet it's the beauty that I hear.
This hidden place where I know that You've calmed my fears.
Yes, I know that You've washed my tears.

All is lost without the breath of life You give, and You give so much.
I want nothing more than You, so here's my heart. Here's my heart.

It's hard to talk when I feel that You are near,
When all is quiet it's the beauty that I hear.
This hidden place where I know that You've calmed my fears.
Yes, I know that You've washed my tears.
