LYRICS: Title: A Silent Saturday

[Verse 1]
The streets are empty and the crowd dispersed,
The echoes fade, the hope feels cursed.
We were His disciples and left our nets,
Now silence fills what’s left of death.
We thought He’d reign, the promised King,
The one to end all suffering.
But here we sit in shadowed doubt,
What is this plan we can’t work out?

[Chorus]
[Men]
In the silence, we hold on
[Women respond]
We hold on
[Men]
In the waiting, we trust
[Women respond]
We trust
[Men]
Will the dawn arise?
[Women respond]
It will rise!

[All]
The quiet is heavy, standing as One,
Believing in the promise of the Son!

[Verse 2]
The temple’s veil was torn in two,
But still, no sign of what to do.
The skies grew dark, the earth did quake,
Yet here we sit, our hearts still ache.
A whisper of doubt grows,
We fight through the throes
Did we mistake the love He gave?
What kind of Savior meets the grave?

[Chorus]
[Men]
In the silence, we hold on
[Women respond]
We hold on
[Men]
In the waiting, we trust
[Women respond]
We trust
[Men]
Will the dawn arise?
[Women respond]
It will rise!

[All]
The quiet is heavy, standing as One,
Believing in the promise of the Son!

[Bridge]
If you doubt the promise, you're not standing alone,
Many have walked this road, seeking to atone.
The voices of ages call out, "Stand firm, be true!"
For God is steadfast, His Word will see us through!
The victory’s certain, the promise is clear—
His truth remains, we’ve nothing to fear!

[Chorus]
[Men]
In the silence, we hold on
[Women respond]
We hold on
[Men]
In the waiting, we trust
[Women respond]
We trust
[Men]
Will the dawn arise?
[Women respond]
It will rise!

[All]
The quiet is heavy, standing as One,
Believing in the promise of the Son!
