Only Love
Will Lyrics
Words and
music by Mitch McVicker
Well the
darkness swirls around me
And it's
startin' to settle down
Here among
the shadows of the evening
So I'm
startin' to wonder about
The shape
my soul is in
And they
say only time will tell
But I say
time will never take me
To that
secret place I love
Where my
mind is free to play with
Just what
I might become
If I let
go of everything that I've been holdin'
And I reach
out for help
Chorus
Because
I, I can't get my broken heart to mend
The tears
I cry, they never wash away my sin
All the
strength I might find, will never heal
This soul
of mine, only Love will
Only His
love will
So now I'm
hopin' that the spirit
Will hang
me out to dry
That I
will listen and I'll hear him
And he
will draw me to his side
And when
I press my heart to His
I will
find my room to breathe
With the
breath that comes from heaven
And the
peace we find in prayer
From a
Grace that's oh so ancient
But still
I know it's always here
To lift
my mind above all I've been doubtin'
And move
me toward belief
Chorus
Yes, and
I, I will never heal
This old
soul of mine, only His love will
Only Love
will
Only Love
will

I asked
Mitch if he could give any background on these lines in the song:
"So now I'm hopin' that the spirit
Will hang me out to dry"
His answer
at that time was: I have never really known what those lines are
about.
But maybe they are talking about how I go round and round in circles
and in
the end I just end up all wet. So maybe I could find some rest and
dry off
a little if God hung me out to dry.
