Lord, Just Let Me Rest

(Intro) Lord, I believe in You… Even when I don’t understand. I know You’re real… But I’m struggling to see Your plan. I’m tired, God. I’m so tired. Please… just let me rest. (Verse 1) Lord, I believe in You, but I’m losing my way, Got a thousand unanswered questions that I carry every day. I still know You’re real, even when I cannot feel The comfort that I’m searching for, the promise that You’ll heal. Why’s the world so full of hatred? Why’s there suffering everywhere? Why do people hurt each other like there’s nothing left to care? I look up toward the heavens, hoping You can hear my cries, But I’m staring at the ceiling with these tears behind my eyes. I don’t wanna lose my faith, I don’t wanna turn away, But it’s hard to keep on standing when the darkness never fades. I’m trying to trust Your timing, trying to understand Your will, But my heart is getting heavier, and my mind won’t sit still. (Pre-Chorus) If You hear me, Lord, I’m calling through the night, I’m searching for a reason, just a little bit of light. I don’t need all the answers, I just need to know You’re near, So take this weight upon my soul and help me face my fear. (Chorus) Lord, I believe in You, but I don’t know anymore, I’m tired of all this pain, tired of fighting every war. I still know You’re real, even when my faith feels weak, I’m just a broken man with a heart that’s too tired to speak. Take this fear away, Lord, let me breathe again, I’m tired of all the hurting, tired of asking when. I don’t need the world to change before the morning light, Just hold me through the darkness, Lord, and help me make it through tonight. Please, just let me rest… Lord, just let me rest. (Verse 2) I’ve seen good people suffer, seen the innocent in pain, Seen a world that keeps on breaking while we’re standing in the rain. Everybody wants forgiveness, but we keep on throwing stones, And there are people in a crowded room who still feel all alone. God, I know I’m not perfect, I’ve made mistakes along the way, I’ve had moments full of anger when I didn’t know what to pray. Sometimes I feel so guilty for the doubts inside my head, Like I’m failing You by questioning the things I see instead. But if faith means being honest, here’s the truth I need to say: I’m afraid of what tomorrow brings, I’m struggling today. I still reach for You in silence, even when I can’t explain Why a heart that begs for peace must learn to live with pain. (Pre-Chorus) If You hear me, Lord, I’m calling through the night, I’m searching for a reason, just a little bit of light. I don’t need all the answers, I just need to know You’re near, So take this weight upon my soul and help me face my fear. (Chorus) Lord, I believe in You, but I don’t know anymore, I’m tired of all this pain, tired of fighting every war. I still know You’re real, even when my faith feels weak, I’m just a broken man with a heart that’s too tired to speak. Take this fear away, Lord, let me breathe again, I’m tired of all the hurting, tired of asking when. I don’t need the world to change before the morning light, Just hold me through the darkness, Lord, and help me make it through tonight. Please, just let me rest… Lord, just let me rest. (Bridge) Maybe faith isn’t knowing why the storm won’t disappear, Maybe faith is still reaching out when You can’t feel You’re near. I don’t have to hide my questions, I don’t have to pretend, That a prayer can’t sound like crying when I’m breaking at the ends. So I’ll bring You all my anger, every doubt I can’t explain, Every sleepless night I’ve suffered, every ounce of hidden pain. If tomorrow brings more questions, I’ll bring those to You as well, I don’t need to understand it all to tell You that I’m here. (Building vocals) I’m still here, Lord… I’m still listening… I’m still trying… Please listen to me. (Outro) Lord, I believe in You… Even when I don’t know anymore. I still know You’re real… I’m just tired of hurting. Take this fear from me, Put some peace inside my chest. I don’t need every answer… I just need some rest. Amen.
