If I could I would take away the trouble
Weighing heavy on your mind
And in your life
If I could I would wipe away the sorrow
That you feel deep down inside
And make it mine
But there's only just so much
A friend in need can help you through
Along the way
But I'm glad to say I know the one
Who will be here to help you
When you pray
If I could I would take you by the hand
Lead you through this valley wide
And stand upon the mountain high
If I could I would walk across
The burning desert sand
Restore your soul to sweeter water
From a better land
But I'm sure that in my strongest hour
I still could not possess the power
To bring you through the raging fire
You must withstand
But remember Jesus can
If I could I would wipe away
The tears that stain your pillow in the night
And make them mine
If I could I would lift you up
Above the clouds of doubt and fearful fright
With all my might
But the truth remains the same
Though I try my best I'm still a man like you
But I'm glad to say I know the one
Who will be here
To help you make it through
If I could I would take you by the hand
Lead you through this valley wide
And stand upon the mountain high
If I could I would walk across
The burning desert sand
Restore your soul to sweeter water
From a better land
But I'm sure that in my strongest hour
I still could not possess the power
To bring you through the raging fire
You must withstand
But remember Jesus can
But I'm sure that in my strongest hour
I still could not possess the power
To bring you through the raging fire
You must withstand
But remember Jesus can
Remember Jesus can
