FORGIVE MY WEARY SOUL
Verse 1
I've been running
I've been hiding
Chasing shadows of my past
Every tear I kept inside me
Lord I swore it'd be my last
But the nights still haunt my spirit
And the echoes call my name
I'm just a man who's made of failures
Standing broken in my shame
But if mercy still has room for me
If grace can heal what eyes can see
Then hear this cry from deep inside
I'm reaching up arms open wide
Chorus
Forgive my weary soul
I can't bear this weight alone
I've been lost
I've been low
Still I long to make it home
Take these hands
Cleanse this heart
Give me one more brand new start
I surrender Lord I know
Only you can make me whole
Verse 2
I see faces in my memory
Some in joy some in pain
And I wonder if they'd hear me
If I called out by their names
Every bridge I burn behind me
Every dream I let run dry
Still I pray Love won't forsake me
Though I failed a thousand times
If redemption still has space for me
If hope is more than just a dream
Then let your mercy find this soul
Take control, make me whole
Chorus
Forgive my weary soul
I can't bear this weight alone
I've been lost
I've been low
Still I long to make it home
Take these hands
Cleanse this heart
Give me one more brand new start
I surrender Lord I know
Only you can make me whole
Bridge
Let the rain fall down and cleanse me
Let the wind blow through my pain
I don't wanna fight no longer
I just wanna breathe again
So if mercy still has room for me
And grace can heal what eyes can see
Then hear this cry from deep inside
I'm reaching up arms open wide
