Aiming for perfection.
I can't do it alone.
"Cease striving and know
I am God."
I'm so weary, Lord.
All around the world
Your children cry out.
"Be still and know
I am God."
I'm so weary, Lord
Of so many trials
How can I make it?
"Cease striving and know
I am God."
I'm so weary, Lord.
My friends are struggling.
Prayers seem unanswered.
"Be still and know
I am God."
I'm so weary, Lord.
The valley of despair
Seem to be endless.
"Cease striving and know
I am God."
I'm so weary, Lord.
The worries of life
Overshadow me.
"Be still and know
I am God."
I'm so weary, Lord.
Running the race of life
The trials are hard.
"Cease striving and know
I am God."
I'm so weary, Lord.
I just want to give up
But I still press on.
"Be still and know
I am God."
"Cast your cares on Me,
Because I care for You."
I will cease striving and know
You are God.
