worn


hello God,
stress.
help me conquer it.
because i feel like it's in every part of my life right now.
every time i turn around.
help me trust in my amazing, awesome, more than capable God 
instead of letting stress overwhelm me.
you give peace that passes all understanding,
and i want some.

~~~

i'm tired
i'm worn
my heart is heavy
from the work it takes
to keep on breathing
i've made mistakes
i've let my hope fail
my soul feels crushed
by the weight of this world

and i know that you can give me rest
so i cry out with all that i have left

let me see redemption win
let me know the struggle ends
that you can mend a heart that's frail and torn
i wanna know a song can rise
from the ashes of a broken life
and all that's dead inside
can be reborn
because i'm worn
