about

This has always been a favourite, written at Mutawinji National Park in NSW's far north-west. Thanks to Andy for the gorgeous piano solo, and to Nada for the beautiful cello

lyrics

In the silent face of rock,
baked red by burning centuries,
there's a stillness that I long to fill my soul, to fill my soul.

No human ever made a cathedral such as this,
gentle wind to soothe my heart, and the vastness
to still my rushing thoughts.

Oh, I want to be a friend of silence,
to know my place in eternity,
to be something beautiful for God.

For centuries these stones have stood,
these tiny flowers have bloomed,
for God's pure pleasure they're growing,
a beauty for His eyes alone.

Oh, I want to be a friend of silence,
to know my place in eternity,
to be something beautiful for God.
