Текст песни If I Told You

Now you tell me that the pain you feel is more than you can bear
If you tried to tell someone about it they would never care
And it hurts to watch you struggle knowing all that you've been through
So I promise that I'll listen – its the least that I can do


(But) If I told you how He touched me when the pain was all I knew
Would it help you to believe that He could do the same for you
If I took your hand and led you to the One who set me free
Could you hold on to the promise of His perfect liberty


Now I won't begin to tell you that I know just how you feel
Though your circumstance is similar and the pain is just as real
But I promise you can call me when there's no where else to turn
So that we can stand together while there's still so much to learn

And I'll tell you how He touched me when the pain was all I knew
It may help you to believe that He can do the same for you

Let me take your hand and lead you to the One who set me free
You can hold on to the promise of His perfect liberty

Though tonight is spent in weeping – wondering how you'll carry on
You can rest assured that joy is coming with tomorrow's dawn
You'll be able then to comfort others in their time of need
In compassion - hard experience will direct your every deed

You can tell them how He touched you when the pain was all you knew
It may help them to believe they can receive the same as you
You can take their hand and lead them to the One who set you free
So they'll hold on to the promise of His perfect liberty

> SoI'll tell you how He touched me when the pain was all I knew
It may help you to believe that He can do the same for you
And I'll take your hand and lead you to the One who set me free
While you hold on to the promise of His perfect liberty
