[Verse 1] I don’t have fancy words tonight, Just a tired heart and a restless mind. I’ve tried to tough it out and act okay, But You and I both know that’s a lie. I’ve been strong for everybody else, Now I’m sitting here with nobody else— So I’m knocking on Heaven’s door again… If You’re listening. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need thunder, I don’t need fire, I just need You a little closer than my doubt. [Chorus] So hold my home together, God, Hold my temper, hold my tongue. Teach me how to lead with mercy When I’ve been leading with a punch. Give me peace that doesn’t make sense When the night won’t let me run— And if You’ve still got room for one more prayer… I’m down here, Father. I’m still Your son. [Verse 2] I’ve carried things I never said, I’ve made my bed in what-ifs and regrets. I’ve watched good people lose their light, And I’ve asked You why a thousand nights. Some days I’m solid, some days I’m smoke, Some days I’m one wrong word from broke— But I’m trying, Lord, I’m trying… If You’re listening. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need answers wrapped in gold, Just something steady when the memories hit cold. [Chorus] So hold my home together, God, Hold my temper, hold my tongue. Teach me how to love my people Like You’ve loved me when I’m numb. Give me strength to keep on showing up When I feel like I’m done— And if You’ve still got room for one more prayer… I’m down here, Father. I’m still Your son. [Bridge] And I hate how loss can feel like punishment, Like I’m paying for a past I can’t outrun. But if they’re safe where You are— If they’re whole where You are— Then help me believe it when my faith comes undone. And if it’s right… if it’s Your will… Let me see them in a dream sometimes— Not to drag them back, Just to let my heart breathe And remind me I’ll be fine. [Final Chorus] So hold my home together, God, When the weight won’t let me stand. Put Your calm inside my chest And put my life back in Your hands. Make me a man my kids can follow, Make me the husband that I am. And if You’ve still got room for one more prayer… I’m down here, Father… Do what You can. [Outro] (spoken, optional) I’m not letting go… I’m just learning how to carry it with You.
