I don't know how to love you.

Where do I begin.

It helplessness is sinning

then here I am a sinner

guilty of sin.



I don't know how to help you

Your trouble goes so deep

You're about to lose your life

and here I am dejected

'cos I love a night of sleep.



Love one another you said

come together as one.

I'm just a servant, Lord

yet you made me a son

Sometimes I'm troubled

by the things you make me see.

But no matter how I feel, Lord

here am I send me.



So I leave the world behind me

and enter this domain.

I'm staggered by the gulf

between us.

I can see your sickness

but I don't feel your pain.



Pity's got no power

compassion has the heart

Jesus, keep me mindful

that it's you who does the

giving.

and it's we who need to

play our part.
