Your Love Is A Healing Place

Vs1
Remembering the call I made that cold and rainy day
A friendship lost I always thought would be there come what may
You said I’ll be right there, an answer to my prayers
And I felt my spirits raise
When I need a friend, when I need to mend
Your love is a healing place

Refrain
Your love (your love) is a healing place
Where I go to free my soul from the pain I can’t let go
Your love (your love) is a healing place
In your strong yet gentle arms I find shelter from life’s storms
Lost in your embrace I find amazing grace
Your love is a healing place
Your love is a healing place

Vs2
A letter from a dear friend’s mom bearing tragic news
He had lost his life in a desert fight
Left a wife and child he never knew
Thank God you were there to quietly share
The grief I felt those days
When I need a friend, when I need to mend
Your love is a healing place

Repeat refrain

Bridge
Every time life leaves me hurtin’
When I feel like givin’ up
I know one thing for certain
I can count on is your love

Key change and repeat refrain
Your love (your love) is a healing place
Where I go to free my soul from the pain I can’t let go
Your love (your love) is a healing place
In your strong yet gentle arms I find shelter from life’s storms
Lost in your embrace I find amazing grace
Your love is a healing place
Your love is a healing place
………
Lost in your embrace I find amazing grace
Your love is a healing place
Your love is a healing place

A Love That Sets Me Free

Verse 1

I’ve stood right at the edge where fear and freedom meet
Peered into the dark afraid to take the leap
Not knowing where I’d land…not knowing if I can
Just step out fearlessly

Chorus

But when I close my eyes and leap I fall into your arms
You give me all I ever need—safe haven from life’s storms
Knowing that you’re always near—such sweet security
Just on the other side of fear I find a love that sets me free

Verse 2

Waiting for a sign...searching for the light
Not seeing all the time the treasure here inside
All I have to do is fully trust in you
And your love will pierce the night

Chorus

But when I close my eyes and leap I fall into your arms
You give me I ever need—safe haven from life’s storms
Knowing that you’re always near—such sweet security
Just on the other side of fear I find a love that sets me free

Bridge

Standing at the edge
I face the mystery
As I empty myself you fill me
In surrender you set me free

Chorus

An Army of One

Resolute with heads held high,
Best and brightest of a generation,
Ready and willing to give their lives,
For the cause of liberation.

Fighting for freedom and liberty,
These young heroes of our great nation,
Sharing a special camaraderie,
Joined as one to achieve their mission.

Always with us in our prayers and reveries,
Evoking a smile, a tear,
As they fight with honor and bravery
For the values we hold dear.
