	Story Behind the Song I was thinking one day about Adam and Eve and what their lives might have been like before that fateful day. Imagine with me that they watched as the first lamb was born. Maybe when that lamb was old enough, Adam and Eve might have gently picked him up and cradled him in their arms. I can almost see Eve reaching out her hand to feed the little lamb the fresh green grass from the garden floor. She could surely feel its soft wool against her skin, and smell its sweet breath as it licked her fingers. Their laughter must have filled the air as they watched its first steps on wobbly legs. They must have grown fond of the little lamb, maybe even naming it, calling it to their side each day to run and play with them. -- But then that day came when Eve gave in to the serpent's lure and ate of the forbidden fruit. Adam followed behind, forever changing the course of history. Although they tried to hide from the Lord, their sin was revealed and the first blood sacrifice was required to cover their shame. What if the little lamb they had known was the one slain? Can you see their tears, hear their cries at the silence of the little lamb? And what of the precious Lamb of God who was slain for your sins and mine? Can He see our tears, hear our cries? For our sins have caused the silence of the Lamb. Lyrics In the garden, did they hear a cry of anguish from the One whose hands formed the very heart of man? And did the earth tremble when the sacrifice was made for the blood that would cover all their shame? (Chorus) How long before the Father's heart was broekn? And how long did He mourn the sin of man? Oh surely, all of heaven must have cried at the silence of the lamb. There was darkeness as the sun refused to shine, and men's hearts were filled with fear as the earth began to shake. For there on the cross was the perfect Sacrifice for the blood that would cover all their shame. (Bridge) Were it not for that precious blood that flowed from Calvary, we could never know forgiveness, never be set free. (Chorus 2) So how long must the Father's heart be broken? And tell me, how long will He mourn the sin of man? Oh surely, all of heaven must be crying for us to heed the silence of the Lamb. For us to heed the silence of the Lamb.
