At first the pain
Was more than I could bear
Waves of sorrow drowning me
I couldn't find God there
But after awhile, the tide turned
And I made my way to shore
God had pulled me through deep waters
I'd never tread before

Time is healing balm
In the hands of the Lord
The greatest gift you could ever give
That anyone can afford
It's the distance from a tragedy
To a brighter day of hope
You learn to cope, as God refines
Nothing takes the place of time

The ones that mean
The most to us in life
Deserve the best we have to give
They're worth the sacrifice
Riches are a wonder
But soon they will decay
Time's the greater treasure
It'll last beyond today
Time is healing balm
In the hands of the Lord
The greatest gift you could ever give
That anyone can afford
It's the distance from a tragedy
To a brighter day of hope
You learn to cope, as God refines
Nothing takes the place of time

It's the distance from a tragedy
To a brighter day of hope
You learn to cope, as God refines
Nothing takes the place
Nothing takes the place
Nothing takes the place of time
