Grace Within Silence

{humming} (mmmmm) {warm

organ swelling softly} Cast me not away

from your presence, O Lord

Take not thy Holy

Spirit

from me

{solemn male lead, intimate close-mic}

Restore to me

the joy of your salvation

Uphold me with a

willing heart {rich

male vocal harmony, organ expanding}

Lord, we

lift your name on high

Let your glory fill the sky

(hallelujah) {mass choir enters,

powerful and majestic}

We bow

before your throne

You are holy alone

(yes

Lord) {soaring vocal soloists rising above the choir}

Lord, we lift your name on high

Let your glory fill the sky

(amen,

amen) {full choral peak,

dramatic emotional heights}

Take not thy Holy Spirit

from me (hallelujah, amen) {choir fading

to a whisper, organ lingering}
