When you don't know what to say
Because your love isn't enough
You close your eyes and see their faces
Their hands are tied and their legs are bound
Without the words to say what they need
When you don't know what to say
Because you don't know what to do
Change seems to be a far away dream
Efforts seem so small but the tears so many
The struggle to do more, to be more
When you don't know what to say
Because you don't know what to pray
God, how could this be? Why
Why is this happening? What
What should I do? What do I say?
Praying for a change that doesn't seem possible
What do I say to you, God?
When I don't know your ways
When I don't know how to help
When hope feels so foreign
Help me to see the light
Help me to see with your eyes
To see the brokenness, hurt, and pain
But also see the love that surpasses mine
Because it comes from you
The definition and giver of love
It gives us hope
It lifts us up
It weeps with us
It rejoices with us
It fills us up
And warms our heart
When you don't know what to say
Because God's love overwhelms
