Story Behind The Song
I wrote this during the first gulf war ...it came as a response to prayers for peace .. I sent it to Amy Grant who put it on hold for a time ..but then wrote her own version with the same message... How about you?

Lyrics
A PLACE IN THE SUN
WORD AND MUSIC BY JIMBEAU WALSH
HEAVEN HELP ME HEAR MY PLEA
YOUR LOVE IS MY NECESSITY
HEAVEN HEAR ME TAKE MY CALL
SEND ME AN ANGEL SHOULD I START TO FALL
INTO A LIFE ON THE RUN
FROM A PAIN DEEP INSIDE
TO A PLACE IN THE SUN
WHERE LOVE WILL ALWAYS BE ALIVE
ITS WRITTEN ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE
KNOCK AND THE DOOR SHALL BE OPENED TO THEE
LORD TAKE OUR SORROW TOUCH OUR SOULS
YOUR LOVE IS SOMETHING TO BEHOLD
FROM A LIFE ON THE RUN
AND A PAIN DEEP INSIDE
TO A PLACE IN THE SUN
WHERE LOVE WILL ALWAYS BE ALIVE
B
OH THE RIVER IS DEEP
AYE THE VALLEY WIDE
PRAY FOR YOUR ENEMIES
THAT THERE MAY BE PEACE TONIGHT
ITS NOT TOO EARLY NEVER TOO LATE
TO LEARN THAT ONLY LOVE CONQUERS HATE
SEEK NOT REVENGE BUT TO FORGIVE
ISN'T THAT WHAT JESUS DID?
FROM OUR LIVES ON THE RUN
AND A PAIN DEEP INSIDE
FIND YOUR PLACE IN THE SUN
WHERE LOVE WILL ALWAYS BE ALIVE
THIS LOVE WILL ALWAYS BE ALIVE
