I don't know how to love you; where do I begin?
It helplessness is sinning, then here I am, a sinner,
I'm guilty of this sin,
I don't know how to help you; trouble goes so deep,
You're about to lose your life, and here I am, dejected 'cause I love a night of sleep.
"Love one another," you said, "Come together as one,"
I'm just a servant, Lord, yet you made me a son,
Sometimes I'm troubled by the things you make me see,
But no matter how I feel, Lord - here am I, send me. (send me, send me)
So I leave the world behind me, enter this domain,
And I'm staggered by the gulf between us,
I can see your sickness, but I don't feel your pain,
Pity's got no power: compassion has a heart,
Jesus, keep me mindful that it's you who does the giving, and it's we who need to play our part,
Help me play my part.

Oh, (love one another, 'cause pity's got no power)
Help me play my part, (love one another, 'cause pity's got no power)
Here I am, send me, send me, (love one another, 'cause pity's got no power)
Let me play my part, (love one another, 'cause pity's got no power)
Send me, send me, (love one another, 'cause pity's got no power)
