So many nights no rest in sight,
So many mornings start with ache.
Thoughts that race, a heart that breaks,
Memories too raw to fake.
My soul is tired of waiting still,
Of longing deep, against its will.
Tired of drowning in despair,
Tired of breathing heavy air.
So I lift my voice and cry,
“Jesus, don’t just pass me by!
Save me from this anxious tide
Be my shelter, be my guide.”
Then gently, softly, I hear Him say:
“Come, My child, don’t be afraid.
Lay your burdens at My feet,
What’s too heavy let Me keep.”
“I walk through shadows, winds, and waves,
With you the soul I came to save.
No path too long, no night too deep,
I’m the Shepherd, and you’re My sheep.”
“So trust Me now, and find your peace
My love for you will never cease.
I will never walk away,
I’m with you always. Come what may.”
