He's never known the sound of Jesus' name
Born into a world of silence
Still he came to trust Him just the same
Signing when he prays for guidance
And though he can not speak a word
He always knows that he is heard
God hears the sound
When a leaf falls to the ground
Or a cry of despair
Though great or small
He hears them all
Even if a silent prayer
She never had to spend her life alone
Sixty years together
Until the day God called him Home
She thought that he would live forever
In grief she couldn't say a word
But through her tears she knows He heard
God hears the sound
When a leaf falls to the ground
Or a cry of despair
Though great or small
He hears them all
Even if a silent prayer
When life becomes too much
And words are not enough
Just know He listens and He cares
God hears the sound
When a leaf falls to the ground
Or a cry of despair
Though great or small
He hears them all; He hears them all
Even if a silent prayer
