I'm Tired

I'm tired. Tired of all this new stuff, all these changes. It's hard. And every time something seems like it's going good, everything just gets more confusing. There's so much to think about, too many things to do, I feel like I can't keep it all straight. My days are getting better, but sometimes they are just hard. I'm starting to realize how daily some of the obstacles I face are, and how challenging it is to overcome them.

I thought that I was getting used to all these different things, but then something happens and BAM it's the whole freshman experience rising up again. My bones are weary and I just feel so worn.

To back up my point and have a song that better articulate my feelings, I was just going to  look up the lyrics to Tenth Avenue North's song Worn and post them. Well, with Google and the internet being a bit finicky, what song the auto-correct whatever typed in was Never Once by Matt Redman. I was looking for this song the other day because I loved the truth in it's words. Compare the lyrics and see for yourself.

Never Once
Matt Redman

Standing on this mountaintop
Looking just how far we’ve come
Knowing that for every step
You were with us

Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You’ve done
Knowing every victory
Was Your power in us

Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

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 wanna 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

 Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart
That’s frail and torn
I wanna know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that’s dead inside can be reborn
Cause all that’s dead inside will be reborn
