Human Spark

Michael W. Smith

God, for the life of me
I don't know why
We hurt each other in
In the name of what is right
Oh, what we think is right

God, for the life of me
I don't understand
Echoes everyday of man's
Inhumanity to man
Man's inhumanity to man

There's a river of sorrow
Running through my heart
Through the long night I will follow
The glimmer in the dark
Lord, you are the human spark

God, for the life of me
I cannot explain
How people born of love
Lose there way to hate
Oh there's gotta be a better way

There's a river of sorrow
Running through my heart
Through the long night I will follow
The glimmer in the dark
Lord, you are the human spark

There's a river of sorrow
Running through my heart
Through the long night I will follow
The glimmer in the dark

There's a river of sorrow
Running through my heart
Through the long night I will follow
The glimmer in the dark
Lord, you are the human spark

Everyday I felt I'm alive
There's a river flowing
