I shouldn't be discouraged

In You, I should be strong

But sometimes when I look around

It's hard to carry on

'Cause there's a heartache in the making

Almost everywhere I turn

Broken lives and love that dies

And not enough concern

There's just too much sadness

There's too many hearts with a broken beat

Life discarded

Hiding in the faces of the people we meet

There's too much sadness in this world

Therе's too much sadness in this world

There's too much sadnеss in this world

It's a cold, hard world we live in

And trouble comes on strong

Sometimes I lose perspective, Lord

On what is right and wrong

And I don't want to be selfish

But I've got problems of my own

And it's hard to share my brother's pain

When I can't handle my own

There's just too much sadness

There's too many hearts with a broken beat

Life discarded

Is hiding in the faces of the people we meet

There's too much sadness in this world

There's too much sadness in this world

There's too much sadness in this world

Holy Father, precious Jesus

I need to feel Your touch

I need Your love so badly

Only You could know how much

Let Your love flow through me

Like a river to the sea

Peace that passes understanding

Come and carry me

There's just too much sadness

There's too many hearts with a broken beat

Life discarded

Hiding in the faces of the people we meet

There's just too much sadness

I need Your compassion

Please give me Your compassion, Lord
