I'm a Little...Worn

Music...continues to speak to my soul...continues to be the cry of my heart.

Today on the drive to church, I heard a song by Tenth Avenue North that I had somehow not heard before.  The song is called "Worn."

In some ways, I hesitate to post such a somber song, with such somber lyrics.  I need people to know of God's goodness, His faithfulness, how He has never left me, how He sends me daily reminders that He hasn't forgotten me.  I want you to know how much God loves me, and He loves you, and what wonderful plans He has for our lives.

But you know, it doesn't mean that every day is easy.  If you have hard days, and I know you do, I want you to know that I do too.  Yes, God is still good.  Yes, God cares about me and for me deeply. Yes, He knows right where I am.  My faith has not wavered.  Even so, right now, today, I feel a little...Worn.  

God never wastes a hurt.  I'm trusting that someone out there needs to read this, to hear this song, to read these lyrics.

"Worn"
by Tenth Avenue North

I'm tired
I'm worn
My heart is heavy
From the work it takes to keep on breathing

I've made mistakes
I've let my hope fail
My soul feels crushed by the weight of this world
And I know that you can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn

I want to know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
Cause I'm worn

I know I need
To lift my eyes up
But I'm too weak
Life just won't let up
And I know that you can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn

I want to know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
Cause I'm worn

All my prayers are wearing thin
I'm worn even before the day begins
I'm worn I've lost my will to fight
I'm worn so heaven come and flood my eyes

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart that's frail and torn

I want to know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
Yes all that's dead inside will be reborn
Though I'm worn
Yeah I'm worn
