Softly Down
Click to Play

Lay your head softly down ... let His peace surround you like a healing crown
Wipe your eyes gently dry ... in His arms He'll hold you when you cry
though it seems as if
all you need quickly slips out of touch
all your dreams have faded too much

Give your heart though it breaks ... bear your soul again like a wound that aches
Know the sorrow, feel the pain
Share the joy of heaven you cannot explain
Don't believe it that
all your love has wasted away
all you gave has died with the day

How many times you've told yourself it really isn't worth it to go on
but somehow life just keeps on racing by and leaves standing on your own

Lift your voice, don't be afraid ... He has not forgotten, all His plans are made
Drink the wine that's bittersweet ... there is true communion down before His feet
Don't forget He will
Be your hope when all else is gone
turn the sorrow into a new song
