Take me to the place where your heart hurts most Lead me through the dark world gates down there Where all the ghosts of sorrow and pain And fear and despair stay hiding And we'll walk right through to our own way, our own place There's a beach that I walk so long and so broad Oceans away miles longer than pain In my glad dreams, I take you there, and it's easy Because the work and the hours And the pay are far behind our sure steps My heart longs to be next to you My heart want's to be there, be there with you Where it's warm and tender and mercy flows like a river And there you stand with your wide open hands And say abide with me
