Hound of Heaven Hymns - Inside the silence

Inside the silence

Music sweeps through us
And over us
Soaking our senses
Overwhelming reason
With the notated
Desire of the Spirit

But there is
Another music
Inside the silence
Behind the pulse
Of realisation
And performance

It has no beginning
Or end
Is always there
Within and outside
Everyone
Everything

All verities are silenced
By this beauty
And difference
Which reaches
Out to us
But can never
Be possessed

Enchanting
Transforming
Redeeming
And challenging
Demanding
Destroying
The certitude and gravity
Of self

Is this peace
Eternity
Love?

It calls through
The staves of
Every year
To sing our names
Take us
To Your heart
