No Power In Pity Lyrics

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.
