Songtext There's no power in pity Cliff Richard

There's no power in pity

I don't know how to love you,
Where do I begin?
If helplessness is sinning,
Then here I am a sinner.
I'm guilty of the 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 my world behind me,
Enter this domain.
And 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.
Help me play my part.

Help me play my part.

Here I am.
Send me.
Send me.
Let me play my part.
Send me.
Send me.
