Silent Battles

Sometimes I lie awake at night,

With a thousand thoughts I cannot fight.

The room is quiet,

but my mind's so loud,

I feel so lost inside the crowd.

I try to smile,

I try to hide,

The little fears I keep inside.

And everyone thinks I'm doing fine,

But they're not here inside my mind.

Then I remember I can call Your name,

And even in the darkness,

You're the same.

I close my eyes,

let go of what I know,

And whisper, "Jesus,

don't let me go."

When the world feels too big,

and I'm feeling so small,

When I'm scared of tomorrow and afraid I might fall,

I'll lift up my hands,

I'll give You my fears,

Jesus, remind me that You're always near.

When the night gets longer and I can't see the light,

When my heart starts racing in the middle of the night,

I'll run to Your arms,

let Your love pull me through,

'Cause I'm never alone when I'm turning to

You!

Oh-oh-oh, I'm turning to

You!

Oh-oh-oh, You'll carry me through!

I'm scared of failing,

scared to try, Scared of the questions asking why.

I'm scared that I won't be enough,

That life will get too hard and tough.

But You don't ask me to be strong,

You stay with me when things go wrong.

You see the tears I never show,

And love me more than I could know.

I don't need to have it all worked out,

I don't need to live without a doubt.

I'll take one step,

and then another two,

Because, my Jesus,

I can trust in You.

When the world feels too big,

and I'm feeling so small,

When I'm scared of tomorrow and afraid I might fall,

I'll lift up my hands,

I'll give You my fears,

Jesus, remind me that You're always near.

When the night gets longer and I can't see the light,

When my heart starts racing in the middle of the night,

I'll run to Your arms,

let Your love pull me through,

'Cause I'm never alone when I'm turning to You!
