Where I Cannot Go/ Love / Song

Where I Cannot Go I fold your name into my heart Beside the lamp, beside the bed The room is still, the hour is late But every word remains unsaid God, if You hear me through this ache Teach my heart what not to chase I loved him past the final door Still, I ask for nothing more Lord, keep him where I cannot go Hold the life we’ll never know If love was real, let mercy prove Give him peace, and let me lose I’ll carry what was beautiful Though it was never meant to stay God, when I’m weak and calling him Please turn my heart another way I hear his voice in ordinary things A half-said joke, a chair pulled back The way he trembled saying goodbye Like a match struck in the dark God, I still hope against my will For one more sign, one moment still But some doors close without a sound And grace is learning not to turn around Lord, keep him where I cannot go Hold the life we’ll never know If love was real, let mercy prove Give him peace, and let me lose I’ll carry what was beautiful Though it was never meant to stay God, when I’m weak and calling him Please turn my heart another way I never meant to leave you hurting I never found the words in time I know, I know, but knowing doesn’t Make your shadow less alive God, take the tenderness between us Make it something I can bless Let the memory become a window Not a hand around my chest Lord, keep him where I cannot go Hold the life we’ll never know If love was real, let mercy prove Give him peace, and let me lose I’ll carry what was beautiful And bless the years that slipped away God, when I’m weak and calling him Please turn my heart another way Another way Another way I place him in Your hands today
