Only my soul, stops me crying,
Wondering why I feel alone
And only my love keeps me from
Weeping, so bad,
Giving me strength, to carry on

Lead me on thro’ restless waters,
Walk with me along the way
Live the moment, and tomorrow
For the Lord will take it all
On judgement day

Broken dreams lay all around me,
Sad eyed children of despair
Whispered voices in the distance
Call me on to who knows where

Lead me on thro’ restless waters,
Walk with me along the way
Live the moment, and tomorrow
‘Cos the Lord will take it all on judgement day,
And the Lord will take it all on judgement day

Hear me crying out for love
Hear me crying out for love
I’ll never let you know it,
I can only show it in my song

Only my soul

Hear me crying out for love
Hear me crying out for love
I’ll never let you know it,
I can only show it in my song
Only my soul…
