Analysis of To you.
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
You show me troubles Lord,
What am I to do?
I don't have the answers,
I don't know the truth.
Thousands upon thousands,
Of souls upon the earth.
Which one's do you value,
Only those within a church?
How am I to touch,
Even a single one.
I can't reveal you're glory,
That is for your son.
So here I sit, with a broken heart.
Not knowing what to do.
Help us Lord,
You're all I have.
I'll leave it up to you.
