Lord, You know it’s been a busy day
And I’m just weary to my bones
I hope You’ll understand if I don’t pray
But I need my rest to carry on

Why do I kid myself, You see my heart
The me I try so to ignore
And Lord You know how very weak I am
I just can’t hide it any more

All of a sudden I knew
That I’d never be wanting as long as I’m leaning on You
Oh Lord, all that I need is You

Everytime when the doubting comes
And I seem to lose my way
When I cry within ’cause I need a friend
But I just don’t say
You know that I need You

All at once it’s clear, even though You’re here
I’ve tried to make it on my own
I’m not trusting You
Lord, you know that I really need our time together
Only Your strength can see me through
So talk with me now
As You walk with me now in this quiet time
I’m waiting on You
Cause…
