Only You Can Save

Chris Sligh

Verse 1: I saw a man today, his whole world across his back A living monument opposed to my success I tried to look into his eyes as he shuffled past my car Sweat beading on his skin, his clothes and hair a mess. As the light turned green and I pulled away he slowly disappeared Just a memory of another chance I failed to show your love here Chorus 1: I want to love because you loved. I want to give because you gave. I want to reach my hand out to the lost 'cause I know your hand will save-ave-ave Only you can save-ave-ave Verse 2: I have to wonder if I really want to know The struggle and the pain that others feel Do I want to hear the stories I see echoed in their eyes Or is this love I say that I'm reflecting even real? As the light turns on inside my head and I slowly disappear I steel myself 'cause what You call for me is to show Your love here Chorus 2: I want to love because you loved. I want to give because you gave. I want to reach my hand out to the lost 'cause I know your hand will save. I want to love just like you loved I want to give just like you gave I want to reach out with your hand 'cause only you can save-ave-ave Only you can save-ave-ave Bridge: So, let me be your hands. Let me be your eyes. You help me understand That I'm your hands and feet hidden behind this frail human disguise Chorus 3: I want to love because you loved. I want to give because you gave. I want to reach out with your hand 'cause I know Your hand will save I want to love just like you loved I want to give just like you gave I want to reach out with your hand 'cause only You can save-ave-ave Only you can save-ave-ave Outro Only you can save yeah Only you can save Only you can save yeah Only you can save Only you can save
