Reachin' up from this lonely place

I never thought I'd bear the pain Of mistakes I can't erase

Content in my self-righteouness

Never feeling pain with those who'd fallen

Now I'm feeling helplessness And needing one more chance to try again

Only your strong love can carry me through

When my heart is weak

And I'm cryin' out to you

Only your gentle hands are strong enought to hold

A trembling, wounded heart

That's breaking in two

Your strong but gentle love is what I need

For her baby's every need

Yet the power of her love is strong Overcoming anything

Now here I am a little child

Longing for a gentle touch to soothe me

Askin' for my Father's arms

To pick me up and love away the pain

Only your strong love can carry me through

When my heart is weak

And I'm cryin' out to you

Only your gentle hands are strong enought to hold

A trembling, wounded heart

That's breaking in two

Your strong but gentle love is what I need

No righteous deed to prove myself to you

I just need your grace to cover me

So come now and sweep over me

I need a strong love only you can give

Only your strong love can carry me through

When my heart is weak

And I'm cryin' out to you

Only your gentle hands are strong enought to hold

A trembling, wounded heart

That's breaking in two
