If I Could Take Your Pain Away

If I could take your pain away
And heal your broken heart
I’d surely do it just for you
Today I’d make my start.

I’d help you learn to trust again
And not to be afraid
I’d stand there by your side all day
As you learned to be brave

I’d help you realize your mistakes
Won’t matter in the end
As long as you can let them go
And not do them again

If I could take your pain away
And open your eyes to see
That superficial doesn’t matter
Then I would set you free

I’d like to help you see your strengths
Instead of all your flaws
Then maybe you could overcome
What holds your life at pause

I’d help you realize that one day
You’ll find the special one
And teach you not to give up yet
You’ve only just begun

If I could take away your pain
Of all the lonely years
I’d take away the memories
That almost cause you tears.

I’d like for you to realize that
The problem wasn’t you
That the others don’t know how to judge
What makes a person true

I’d help you see that in the end
Your worth is just as great
And that you’re just as special as
The one who got the date

If I could take away the pain
That my friends suffer through
I’d gladly do it all right now
My love for them is true

It’s not hard for me to trust the pow’r
Of the love I have for them
That I could care, or do that much
To help them through the end

And yet when I go through my pains
It’s hard for me to see
That someone out there cares that much
For little worthless me

I see their worth, but not my own
And so I can’t believe
That someone very powerful
Wants to be my reprieve

So moments when I need it most
I cannot seem to see
The person who is standing there
And saying this to me

I’m here to take your pain away
To heal your broken heart
If you’ll just let me in your life
Today I’ll make my start.

I’ll teach you how to trust again
Help you when you’re afraid
I’m always here right by your side
Just trust me and be brave

I wish you knew that your mistakes
Were long ago forgiven
Once your path turned back to me and
Back to righteous living

I’m here to take your pain away
And open your eyes to see
That to me you are beautiful
Let that knowledge set you free

I’m here to show you how your strengths
Can overcome your flaws
I’m here to help you see the way
To live instead of pause

I’m here to help you realize that
I know you’ll find someone
I’m asking please don’t give up
For your life has just begun

I’m here to take the pain away
Of all your lonely years
I’ll soften every memory
I’m here to dry your tears

I’m here to make you realize that
The problem is never you
That those who really matter know
Your heart is pure and true

I’m here to help you see your worth
Your divinity so great
That those who see your true beauty
Would proudly be your date

I’m here to take away the pain
The sorrows and the tears
I’m here to heal your broken heart
To help you all your years

I’ve loved you so for many years
I knew you at the start
And because I know your true worth
You hold a place in my heart

I hope that now you realize that
My love for you is true
And with the power of my love
I did all I could do

I suffered all your loneliness
And all your tears I’ve cried
And then because I love you so
It was for you I died

Now I can take your pain away
Just open up your heart
And with the love I have for you
Today we’ll make a start
