Songs I Can Relate To: "Worn" by Tenth Avenue North

I would like to just come right out and say that trusting God is hard. It's something that we as humans have to struggle with because we would love to be in control of our own lives. (Thankfully we are not though!)

This is a song that I have been able to identify with over the past few months. It's a beautiful prayer that touches me somewhere deep inside every time I hear it. It's called "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 week
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

And 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 so 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
