How Could I Be Silent

Tom : Eb
Bb
(How could I be silent?)
Bb
I used to wonder if I could ever be loved
Gm Eb Gm
Never gonna live up, should I give up? Will I ever be enough?
Eb
What I didn’t understand is You love me as I am

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
I don’t care what anybody thinks about me
(You’re the only One that I need)
Eb
No, I don’t care what anybody thinks about me
(How could I be?)

[Chorus]
Gm Eb Bb
How could I be silent when there’s all this joy inside my heart
Gm
How could I be quiet when you gave me light to pierce the dark
Eb
How could I be silent, I will not be silent
Bb
Even though my sin had left crimson, You washed away those stains
Gm
And the grace You’ve given is the reason I’ll never be the same

[Próxima Parte]
Eb Eb
How could I be silent, I will not be silent, how could I be silent

[Verse 1]
Bb
I didn’t wanna stand out, kept my head down, insecure inside my skin
Gm
Always looking back over, my shoulder, making sure I blended in
Eb
Then You gave me a new name, and I never was the same
