To Save Someone
Lyric
Verse 1
I used to think that healing came with time
That broken hearts would mend themselves someday
But love is something spoken, clear and kind
A truth you give never to fade away
So when I see a soul that’s losing light
I say the words I know can pull them through
Because the first step in the soul's dark of night
Is telling them the simple truth...
“I love you”
Chorus
To save someone
You start with love that doesn’t run or hide
To save someone
You speak the truth that destroys the hidden lies
The words aren't grand,
They need not be loud
They just need to be steady as the rising sun
To save someone
You love them until all their doubt has given up
To save someone
Verse 2
It’s easy just to say you care
But love is in the things you choose to do
It’s in the time you give, the way you’re there
The quiet acts that say, “I’m here with you”
A gentle hand can pull a heart from fear
A faithful presence shows what words can’t prove
And every moment of kindness is like a whisper in their ear
Reminding them that you meant it when you said
"I love you"
Chorus
To save someone
You start with love that doesn’t run or hide
To save someone
You speak the truth that destroys the hidden lies
The words aren't grand,
They need not be loud
They just need to be steady as the rising sun
To save someone
You love them until all their doubt has given up
To save someone
Verse 3
Love is more than holding just one heart
It’s letting God’s own mercy lead your way
It’s choosing the grace born before the world even started
Embracing tenderness for all God's creatures each day
You can only save a soul by loving everyone
in the way that God has always held and loved you
And when His light inside your life is shown
You will hear Him say...
"I love you"
Final Chorus
To save someone
You start with love that doesn’t run or hide
To save someone
You speak the truth that destroys the hidden lies
The words aren't grand,
They need not be loud
They just need to be steady as the rising sun
To save someone
You love them until all their doubt has given up
To save someone
To save someone
Just say
"I love you"
