broken 

I try to smile

But I give up 

 

Must trust

In You 

The Holy One

The Savior 

 

All these tears 

And fears

Flowing out

 

It's just

Too hard

 

Too hard

 

The world is breaking

But when I let go 

 

I look into Your 

Face of grace

And I know 

 

That Your 

Love from above 

Is enough

To carry me Home

 

And when the 

Spirit of peace

Settles in me 

 

I see

It's going to be all right

 

Because I am Yours

And You are mine

Forever and always

By my side

The author's comments:

Peace is hard to come by, especially during hard times. We all know what it's like to be down, exhausted, and hopeless. The question then is, Who do you turn to in those dark times?
