"worn"

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, 'cause i'm worn

i know i need to lift my eyes up

but i'm just too weak, life won't let up

and i know that you can give me rest

so i cry out with all that i have left:

let me see redemption win

my prayers are wearing thin even before the day begins

i've lost my will to fight, so heaven come and flood my eyes
