ONLY HE CAN HEAL ME

(For only he can heal me)

 

There are times I get to feeling

That this world has stole my grace

When everyday feels like a hustle

Every day I'm saving face

Tell a lie to make the paper

Put a little coin away

It's never ending

 

(For only he can heal me)

 

When the trappings of the body

Lead me to that hopeless place

And I feel my spirit crumble

Under strain and under guilt

Lay me down in rivers

Cleansing where the tall grass

Grows and grows

And let me wait

Until my saviour comes home

 

For only he can heal me

Help me over come it

For only he can heal me

With his touch

Help me over come it

 

(For only he can heal me)

 

From the towns and from the cities

Came a feeling of defeat

From the lame and from the wretched

Pouring forth unto the street

Lead me to my only temple

Where I overcome defeat

And let me rest there by my saviour's feet

 

For only he can heal me

Help me over come it

For only he can heal me with his touch

Help me over come it

 

(For only he can heal me)

 

Oh oh oh

Heal, heal me

 

(For only he can heal me)
