Lyrics

I
I am tired, so tired
So much pain, I am in vain
I am tired, so tired
So much hatred, I no longer know myself

PRE-CHORUS 1
I shut the light and all I can see is nothing
So I stumble and crawl into darkness
I push away all those who love me
Especially You Lord, that’s my deepest regret

CHORUS
(Now) Here I am onto my knees
With two hands outstretched high
Crying for forgiveness
And longing for Your love You never hide
Jesus, rest my soul beside Your heart

III
I am restless and discontented
I ignore Your plans for me
Now I am tired, so tired
Running away with nowhere to go

PRE-CHORUS 2
I cried to Your name saying,
“Lord, please save me.”
You calm my heart whispering,
“I am here.”

REPEAT CHORUS except last line

CHORUS

Here I am onto my knees
With two hands outstretched high
Crying for forgiveness
And longing for Your love You never hide
Jesus, You’ve rested my soul beside Your heart

CODA

Jesus, You’ve rested my soul beside Your heart
