We cannot take backThe hurtful wordsThat, one day,Were angrily spoken
We cannot repairThe damage that's doneTo a heart that's alreadyBeen broken

We cannot hold backEmotions run wildWhen they've been releasedFrom their cage
The sting will remainFrom the slap of a handThat struck outIn a moment of rage

We just cannot winWhen we're spread out too thinAnd constantly Giving ourselves
The pieces we giveThat once helped us to liveStored up on theDusty old shelves

We cannot denyWhen we've made someone cryWith a thoughlessWord or deed
And we'll always regretThe times we pass byA brother or sisterIn need

But I'm here to sayRight now, on this dayThere is hopeFrom our God above
If only we'll prayA simple prayerThat He fill us withHis undying love

From this moment onLord, please help us to seeEach other throughYour loving eyes
Please help us to holdWith the strength of Your armsand to hearWhen a hurting soul cries

Let not our mouths speakThrough anger or hateNor with bitternessNor with pride
Let our whole beingReflect Your loveThat dwells with usOn the inside
Amen
