Only Love Will
words and music by Mitch McVicker

(capo 2nd fret)

            D                               
Well the darkness swirls around me
                                           
And it's startin' to settle down
               G                            
Here among the shadows of the evening
                                           
So I'm startin' to wonder about
      A                                     
The shape my soul is in
             G               D     G          
And they say only time will tell
           D                                 
But I say time will never take me
                                           
To that secret place I love
          G                                 
Where my mind is free to play with
                                           
Just what I might become
         Em                                Bm  
If I let go of everything that I've been holdin'
                     G    A                  
And I reach out for help



Chorus
       G            D                       
Because I, I can't get my broken heart to mend
            A                           D    
The tears I cry, they never wash away my sin
                      G                    Em 
All the strength I might find, will never heal
      Bm          A              G             
This soul of mine, only Love will
              D                              
Only His love will
                                           

            D                               
So now I'm hopin' that the spirit
                                           
Will hang me out to dry
               G                              
That I will listen and I'll hear him
                                           
And he will draw me to his side
             A                              
And when I press my heart to His
        G                  D     G            
I will find my room to breathe
            D                               
With the breath that comes from heaven
                                           
And the peace we find in prayer
         G                                  
From a Grace that's oh so ancient
                                           
But still I know it's always here
        Em                            Bm       
To lift my mind above all  I've been doubtin'
                      G     A                
And move me toward belief



Chorus


      G                   Em                  
Yes, and I, I will never heal
           Bm         A               G         
This old soul of mine, only His love will
           D     G                           
Only Love will
      D         G    D                        
Only Love will
