I’ve carried Your name through the long hard years Through answered prayers and a river of tears I’ve seen Your mercy pull me from the grave And I know in my bones You still have power to save. But the voices grow louder, the road’s wearing thin They curse what I believe and the hope I carry within Lord, I’m still standing, but barely tonight Holding this faith with my hands clenched tight I don’t need every answer I just need to know You’re near Speak into the silence, Lord And steady me right here Give me peace beyond the fire Understanding deeper than the pain When the world condemns Your name Let me call upon it all the same I’m seeking You, Jesus With every broken prayer I bring You give freely to the weary Be my wisdom, be my peace I remember the day when Your grace found me When the chains hit the ground and my soul walked free No crowd can erase what Your blood has done No darkness can bury the rising Son But I’m tired of fighting what I cannot see And fear keeps whispering, He’s forgotten me So I open Your Word with a trembling hand Asking for strength just to rise and stand I don’t need every answer I just need Your voice again Meet me in the questions, Lord And remind me who I am Give me peace beyond the fire Understanding deeper than the pain When the world condemns Your name Let me call upon it all the same I’m seeking You, Jesus With every broken prayer I bring You give freely to the weary Be my wisdom, be my peace You were there when they mocked You You were there beneath the nails You forgave the ones who struck You And Your mercy never failed So when hatred stands against me Keep my heart from turning stone Let me answer hurt with kindness For I never walk alone You are close to every wounded soul You are strong when I am weak You are not ashamed of honest doubt And You hear me when I seek I will ask, and I will trust You I will knock through every night Until Your peace becomes my shelter And Your truth becomes my sight Give me peace beyond the fire Understanding heaven freely gives Though they wound me for believing Christ within me always lives I’m seeking You, Jesus Till my restless heart is still You give wisdom without measure Teach me how to trust Your will Give me peace beyond the fire Let Your presence cover me I was saved by grace forever And Your grace will carry me I may bend beneath the burden But Your hands will never leave Through the questions and the suffering I will seek, and I’ll believe
