i don't know what to do to ease your mind

i don't have the perfect word to make it fine

i'm not so qualified for sympathy

still i am not without love

psalm number four falls on your grieving ear

yes, i believe the peace of christ is near

and i am here in his name

you'd do the same, you'd do the same...

if you'll let me close

closer than a brother

if you'll let me love you

we'll sit here and cry

if you'll let me love (let me love you)

never failing, ever hoping

seeking to preserve

it always is giving

often beyond words

and when there's nothing left to say

love has a voice

in sorrow and in heartache

there's a greater joy

i don't know what to do to ease your mind

whatever pain you have i'd take as mine

if you'll let me love (let me love you).
