My head is bowed; I'm full of grief.
Take my pain--it goes so deep.
I need a breath. I need relief.
For my life is turning sideways.
My thoughts are upside-down.
I need a firm foundation--
I've lost Your solid ground.
Take my hand, precious daughter.
My grace is full, My mercy clear.
Take My love, let it hold you.
My light is here; My strength is here.
For I've taken on your burdens.
My calm is all around.
You need My firm foundation--
Stand on My solid ground.
Take my dreams, I trade them in.
My hands are open; my heart laid bare.
Take my sorrow; give me peace.
This is my plea, my only prayer.
For I want to trust in You, Lord.
Your way is sure and true.
You are my strong defense.
I know You'll see me through.
