G                           Em                        C          D
  As the rain comes pouring down, I'm reminded of the tears I've cried.
G                          Em                        C                            D
  All those lonely, lonely nights, searching for the truth that somehow passed me by.

  Lord please come into this empty room,      and heal my soul so hurt inside.
Am                            D               Am                          D       
  With just one touch of Your Sacred Heart,       is all I need now to survive.
