He Can and Will
I can tell you that I love you, and prove it day by day.
I can hold you when you shake and tell you everything's alright.
I can lift you when you fall, and hold your hand tight, but...
God can and will count your every tear drop, and dry them all away.
He can wash away the tear stains on your pillow, and make them unseen.
He knows your heart through and through, and will direct His love within.
I can pretend to understand and try to explain reason.
I can lead you by a way, and warn you of danger up ahead.
I can tell you to tread lightly, and cover the truth in sugar coated lies, but...
God can and will light the path before you, and lead you to life.
He can give you only truth, and in dwell you with grace.
He will save your soul from hell and from yourself, and give you eternal life.
By His death, He reconciled. By His life, He secures.
