If I Could Give You Words

Words by Judith Simmons, Music by Christopher Kent

If I could give you words
That all time would sustain
Words that cleared the skies
And took away the pain
Then I would give you words of love

If I could give you words
You could tuck away
Words to bring to mind
Against a bitter day
Then I would give you words of love

To guide you through the night
Wrap your soul and hold it fast
Compassionate as God
And born of love
Born to last

If I could give you words
You could always hear
Words that come unbeckoned
Soft, yet very clear
I would give you words of love
I would give you words of love
