No power in pity
by Cliff Richard

I don´t know how to love you.
Where do I begin.
It helplessness is sinning
Then here I am a sinner
Guilty of sin.
I don´t know how to help you
Your trouble goes so deep
You´re about to lose your life
And here I am dejected
´cos I love a night of sleep.
Love one another you said
Come together as one.
I´m just a servant, lord
Yet you made me a son
Sometimes I´m troubled
By the things you make me see.
But no matter how I feel, lord
Here am I send me.
So I leave the world behind me
And enter this domain.
I´m staggered by the gulf
Between us.
I can see your sickness
But I don´t feel your pain.
Pity´s got no power
Compassion has the heart
Jesus, keep me mindful
That it´s you who does the
Giving.
And it´s we who need to
Play our part.
Where do I begin.
It helplessness is sinning
Then here I am a sinner
Guilty of sin.
I don´t know how to help you
Your trouble goes so deep
You´re about to lose your life
And here I am dejected
´cos I love a night of sleep.
Love one another you said
Come together as one.
I´m just a servant, lord
Yet you made me a son
Sometimes I´m troubled
By the things you make me see.
But no matter how I feel, lord
Here am I send me.
So I leave the world behind me
And enter this domain.
I´m staggered by the gulf
Between us.
I can see your sickness
But I don´t feel your pain.
Pity´s got no power
Compassion has the heart
Jesus, keep me mindful
That it´s you who does the
Giving.
And it´s we who need to
Play our part.
