Oh my Lord I am SO weary, weak and worn down.
Will You please take me into Your arms
and hold me close to Your chest?
The weight of all that I hold dear is heavy Lord
but I don’t know how to truly and fully surrender
all of my hopes and my dreams.
Oh my Lord I am SO weary, weak and worn down.
Will You please take me into Your arms
and hold me close to Your chest?
The sorrow of disappointment hangs heavy over me
like a dark cloud, it drags my heart down,
causing me to lose my focus
and walk around stooped over.
Oh my Lord I am SO weary, weak and worn down.
Will You please take me into Your arms
and hold me close to Your chest?
The heavens declare that Your faithfulness is great,
it is beyond my understanding.
Every voice that knows You states that Your faithfulness
is as sure as the dawn.
But oh my Lord the night is SO long and dark,
I fear that I’ll never see Your colours bursting through.
Oh my Lord I am SO weary, weak and worn down.
Will You please take me into Your arms
and hold me close to Your chest?
Please come my Saviour, come my closest Friend,
take me into Your arms once more,
let Your Truth and Love wash over me,
hold me until the breakthrough comes,
hold me until the promises manifest,
come just like the dawning light of day.
Hold me Lord and never let go!
