When You Say Nothing At All”
Written by Don Schlitz, Paul Overstreet
It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What’s being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
For your consideration….
Our message today comes via this song. This love song talks about the power of silence.
Silence is a tool we have in our life tool box. We all have it. We don’t always choose to use it. It is a choice. We always have a choice.
We can convey much in silence. We can let our presence speak for itself. We can convey love or hate. We can convey joy or sadness. The point is we don’t always have to use words and sometimes it is better to be silent. Sometimes it is better to be silent and wait for clarity. Sometimes silence is a better strategy versus stir up controversy which serves no meaningful purpose. We do not have to express our opinion on everything.
Our message today reminds us that we all have the tool of silence and sometimes it is the best tool to use.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
