I hear daily news
People cry out for their freedom
My eyes turn to You
Don't they know, Lord, You can lead them
If we all pray for peace
Change will come I believe
As we face the unknown
God heals us when we're broken
He is there, use your voice
Reach for Him, make a choice
None of us are alone
Don't leave your heart unspoken
God heals us when we're broken
Don't leave your heart unspoken
I pray save our souls
Help us find a new direction
We're lost in the cold
Let Your arms be our protection
If we all pray for peace
Change will come I believe
As we face the unknown
God heals us when we're broken
He is there, use your voice
Reach for Him, make a choice
None of us are alone
Don't leave your heart unspoken
God heals us when we're broken, He heals us
Don't leave your heart unspoken
Out of the dark into the light
He is there for us with all of His might
He has the answers, He hears your prayers
Turn every corner you'll find Him there
Don't leave your heart unspoken
If we all pray for peace
Change will come I believe
As we face the unknown
God heals us when we're broken
He is there, use your voice
Reach for Him, make a choice
None of us are alone
Don't leave your heart unspoken
God heals us when we're broken
