Verse 1 Lord, I'm tired of carrying all these burdens; they weigh me down like lead. I know I shouldn't hold a grudge, but these memories stuck in my head keep replaying — the voices, the accusations — just keep tearing my heart apart. I know what I should do, I know what You say. Lord, I'm not trying to disobey. I honestly want to let it all go, but it's hard when hurts won't let my mind go. Chorus Help me, Lord. I'm crying out — a tired soul all spent out. I give You this day and every day forward. Build me back up, Lord; keep me in Your gentle cover. Help shield me from their lies and abuse. Help me not to be like them, but be more like You. Thank You, Lord. I give You the praise and glory, because without You I wouldn't have a story .Verse 2 I pray, “Vengeance is mine,” sayeth the Lord. I realize my redemption story probably won't ever happen earth‑side, because there will come a day when the ones who hurt me stand before You, and as for my soul — that will do. They may win here on this earth, and they may walk with heads held high, but I know when they see You, they won't be able to look You in the eyes .Chorus Help me, Lord. I'm crying out — a tired soul all spent out. I give You this day and every day forward. Build me back up, Lord; keep me in Your gentle cover. Help shield me from their lies and abuse. Help me not to be like them, but be more like You. Thank You, Lord. I give You the praise and glory, because without You I wouldn't have a story. Verse 3 Lord, please help me release this pain — to overcome what I didn't cause. It's broke my heart. I am all out of words, Lord; all I have left are these tears I shed. I know You can read my heart, and You can use what's meant to destroy to build. So Lord, I give the remnants left of me — build me back up, Lord. Make me humble, keep me kind; don't let what they did affect my mind. Bridge I don't know what to do. It's hard to have the memories haunting my heart. Then the anger comes, but my ole soul doesn't have it in me to be cruel. But then come the tears and pain, and my flesh screams for vengeance to take my good name back — but then I remember it won't do any good. The ones who decided to hurt and trash me already know I'm none of what they say .Chorus Help me, Lord. I'm crying out — a tired soul all spent out. I give You this day and every day forward. Build me back up, Lord; keep me in Your gentle cover. Help shield me from their lies and abuse. Help me not to be like them, but be more like You. Thank You, Lord. I give You the praise and glory, because without You I wouldn't have a story
