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
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 sa-a-ave
Only you can sa-a-ave
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
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 sa-a-ave
Only you can sa-a-ave
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
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 sa-a-ave
Only you can sa-a-ave
Only you can save yeah
Only you can save
Only you can save yeah
Only you can save
Only you can save
