Only Your Love Can

Only Your Love Can

They drown their sorrows

In things that never last.

Chasing empty answers,

Running from the past.

Trying to quiet broken hearts,

Trying to numb the pain.

But every road without You

Still leaves their hearts the same.

Place them in Your hands…

The hands that never fail.

Place them in Your hands…

Your mercy will prevail.

I’ll love them well.

I’ll pray faithfully.

I’ll point them to the cross.

I cannot change a heart…

Only Your love can.

So I stand beside them,

Praying through my tears.

Trusting where You lead,

Even when I cannot see.

If I keep holding on,

I stand where You should be.

Then I hear You whisper…

“Child… place them in My hands.”

Place them in Your hands…

The hands that never fail.

Place them in Your hands…

Your mercy will prevail.

I’ll love them well.

I’ll pray faithfully.

I’ll point them to the cross.

I cannot change a heart…

Only Your love can.

You never asked me

To carry their soul.

You only asked me

To point them to You.

Your love is still pursuing

What my hands could never reach.

I’ll trust Your heart with theirs…

Because You love them more than I ever could.

Father… they’re Yours.

Final Chorus

Place them in Your hands…

The hands that never fail.

Place them in Your hands…

Your mercy will prevail.

I’ll love them well.

I’ll pray faithfully.

I’ll point them to the cross.

I cannot change a heart…

Only Your love can.

Every heart reaches for something…

Let mine reach for You.

I’ll place them in Your hands…

And let my heart stay in Yours.

Only Your love can…
