"IF YOU EVER FEEL THE NEED"

Verse 1
I can cause a flaming star to send light to your galaxy,
I can make the planet earth be a home of humanity,
-I can change a man of clay into a living soul;
-All parts of nature I control.
Verse 2
I can make the crimson sunset glow & light up your skies,
I can make the silver moonlight shine tonight in your eyes,
-I can cause a gentle breeze to blow & refresh your mind;
-I have created all mankind.
Chorus 1
But I cannot make you love Me, and it makes My heart grieve
To know that you have heard of Me, but chose to not believe.
No, I cannot make you love Me, I can only beg & plead.
But I will always be here for you, if you ever feel the need.
---- -----
Musical Interlude: --- two times
Verse 3
I decide the times & seasons, & the orbit of the globe as it whirls,
I design the hidden reasons, the difference in the boys & the girls.
-My influence reaches realms & spheres as yet unexplored.
-I write life's songs, I choose the chords.
Chorus 2
But I cannot make you love Me, and it makes My heart grieve
To know that you have heard of Me, but chose to not believe.
No, I cannot make you love Me, I can only beg & plead.
But I will always be here for you, if you ever feel the need.
Bridge
My emotions make the seven oceans surge & swell.
I can raise a storm or cause the clouds to form at will.
I cry, & the rain pours.
I sigh, & thunder roars.
Stars fall & mountains shake
When My heart breaks.
Chorus 3
But I cannot make you love Me, and it makes My heart grieve
To know that you have heard of Me, but chose to not believe.
No, I cannot make you love Me, I can only beg & plead.
But I will always be here for you, if you ever feel the need.
If you ever feel the need.
