Oh, my soul Oh, how you worry Oh, how you're weary, from fearing you lost control This was the one thing, you didn't see coming ; And no one would blame you, though If you cried in private If you tried to hide it away, so no one knows No one will see, if you stop believing

Oh, my soul You are not alone There's a place where fear has to face the God you know ; One more day, He will make a way Let Him show you how, you can lay this down 'Cause you're not alone

Here and now You can be honest I won't try to promise that someday it all works out 'Cause this is the valley ; And even now, He is breathing on your dry bones And there will be dancing There will be beauty where beauty was ash and stone This much I know

Oh, my soul You are not alone There's a place where fear has to face the God you know ; One more day, He will make a way Let Him show you how, you can lay this down 'Cause you're not alone

I'm not strong enough, I can't take anymore (You can lay it down, you can lay it down) ; And my shipwrecked faith will never get me to shore (You can lay it down, you can lay it down) ; Can He find me here Can He keep me from going under

Oh, my soul You are not alone There's a place where fear has to face the God you know ; One more day, He will make a way Let Him show you how, you can lay this down 'Cause you're not alone
