Heavy On My Chest

[Verse 1]
I woke up heavy
World on my chest
Trying to smile but I’m losing my breath
I’ve been strong for way too long
Lord
I don’t know where I went wrong
I talk to You but my voice feels weak
So many tears I can barely speak
I keep asking
“Do You still hear me?”
Or am I lost in my own fear
See

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired of pretending I’m fine
Hands up ‘cause I’m out of my mind
If You’re close
Won’t You show me now
I’m at the edge
I don’t know how

[Chorus]
Be my strength when I can’t stand
Hold my heart in Your steady hands
When I fall and I can’t get back
Pull me out
Put me on Your path
Be my light when the night won’t end
Be my courage
My closest friend
When I’m breaking and I’ve got nothing left
Jesus
Carry this weight on my chest

[Verse 2]
Doctor said maybe I need some rest
Mama said
“Baby
This is just a test”
Everybody’s got their good advice
But they don’t see me up late at night
Scrolling through all the things I’ve failed
Every prayer that I thought derailed
Still I whisper Your name again
‘Cause You’re the only place I’ve ever been

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired of pretending I’m fine
Hands up ‘cause I’m out of my mind
If You’re close
Won’t You show me now
I’m at the edge
I don’t know how

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
If I only have a whisper left
I’ll use it just to call Your name (Your name)
If I only have a trembling step
I’ll take it
You can lead the way (lead the way)
[low vocal register] When I’m empty
You’re still enough
[crescendo] In the breaking
You’re building trust

[Chorus]
