This is a different type of poetry in meter (6-10-9-15-12) and rhyme scheme (abcde abcde).
The harsh roar of silence,
    Deafening all of your feeble senses.
It threatens to destroy your hearing,
    While at the same time it displays the awesome power of God.
A soft melody rings eerily through this void,
    Once calm - you are now tense.
You think if you will get second chances,
    Will they be granted by the true King?
You can hear the words to that heartrending tune while you now plod,
    The lyrics reminding you of a plot employed:

The plot that killed Jesus.
    Yet it was the will of God the Father.
He knew that our sins were in the way,
    And so He sent His one and only Son to redeem our souls.
His death and resurrection caused us to have life,
    He loved us just because.
And we ask why the Father should bother,
    For we are sinful just as they say.
The sad melody rings hauntingly telling of now-lost goals,
    But it also brings the good news ending our sad strife.

The harsh roar of silence,
    It is the silence of your now-calm heart.
This sudden peace overwhelming you,
    This perfect serenity calming you of all your fears.
The soft melody plays its way throughout your soul,
    Its notes make perfect sense.
Jesus comes and gives you a brand-new start,
    His perfect love gives your mind a clue.
When you have problems you can pray to Him and He always hears,
    He turns all your fears and sorrows into frail coal.

Coal is an example,
    Of what happens to our fears and sorrows.
Jesus takes them in His holy hands,
    Just as one turns coal into diamonds, He turns them into gems.
And only by going through trials and troubles,
    Can we become ample.
Ample and able to go through life's lows,
    Willing to take His peace to all lands.
Just as a piece of fabric is taken by someone who hems,
    God makes us complete and works hard even through lulls.

Soft and sad melodies,
    They waft care-free throughout your memories.
Their words and music calming your heart,
    And carrying you through with the love and grace of Jesus Christ.
His hands are the melody that carry you through,
    Whether through storms or lees.
Life is like an adventure on blue seas,
    You rest and let Jesus do His part.
He will take you through life protecting you from the Devil's heist,
    You will sing that heartbreaking song and be made new.

"Only by life's demands,
    Do I traverse along this weary way.
The stars in their brilliance show the path,
    And the road that my sore feet must tread with a slow, cautious dare.
Walking through the Valley of the Shadow of Death,
    God holds me in His hands.
Upon His shoulder my head now can lay,
    All my sorrows left - I have no wrath.
My wounds are healing under His tender, loving, perfect care,
    While I live my heart will praise Him with all my breath."
