The Silent Years
(Verse 1)
In Nazareth, the child did grow,
Only Mary and Joseph know,
The secret, the mystery,
A story yet to be,
Unseen, unnoticed,
Unheralded, unknown.
(Pre-Chorus)
In quietude, He was prepared,
For the cross that He would bear.
(Chorus)
Like a whisper in the air,
Like the rustling of the trees,
The Messiah grew in quiet grace,
In favor with God and man.
(Bridge)
Eyes that did not see,
Ears that did not hear,
The time had come,
the Christ was near.
(Chorus)
Like a whisper in the air,
Like the rustling of the trees,
The Messiah grew in quiet grace,
In favor with God and man.
(Verse 2)
As a boy to the temple He went,
To claim the sacrifice, heaven-sent.
His Father's will He must fulfill,
By His blood, all things made new.
(Bridge)
The Lamb bleats twice,
Then falls the knife.
(Chorus)
Like a whisper in the air,
Like the rustling of the trees,
The Messiah grew in quiet grace,
In favor with God and man.
(Outro)
The silent years passed by,
Until childhood said goodbye.
Like a whisper in the air,
Like the rustling of the trees.
