Wondering the hillsides of complacency
Grazing in apathetic fields
Drinking from still waters of indifference
So far from the Shepherd's will
He cries as He hears
The silence of the lambs
Heaven's eyes look on in tears
At the lack of our concern for man
The created fail to fulfill
The Creator's perfect plan
And He cries as He hears
The silence of the lambs
Wanting His flock to be obedient
Wishing they'd beckon to His call
The Shepherd longs to guide their pathway
But they don't follow Him at all
He cries as He hears
The silence of the lambs
Heaven's eyes look on in tears
At the lack of our concern for man
The created fail to fulfill
The Creator's perfect plan
And He cries as He hears
The silence of the lambs
The created fail to fulfill
The Creator's perfect plan
And He cries as He hears
The silence of the lambs
Yes, He cries as He hears
The silence
