Can’t Carry This (Reimagined)

Mornings I wake up heavy

Heart already in a race

Nothing can calm the shaking

Tears stay frozen in their place

When they ask me, How you doing

I say, "I'm fine, don't worry, I'm good

But it feels like I'm collapsing

Under a weight I never should

I can't carry this

I am not that strong

All these worries on my shoulders

I've been holding for too long

So I lay them down

At the foot of Your cross

You are God and I am not, Lord

I surrender all I've held

By lunchtime I'm running empty

Smiling through another call

Saying, Yes, I'll take that on

While I'm barely standing tall

You never asked me, Jesus

To be the hero of this fight

You just asked me to be honest

And bring my weakness to Your light

I can't carry this

I am not that strong

All these worries on my shoulders

I've been holding for too long

So I lay them down

At the foot of Your cross

You are God and I am not, Lord

I surrender all I've held

I lay down my fear (I lay down my fear)

I lay down my pride (All the stories that say)

I must hold it inside (I must hold it inside)

I lay down control (Of the things I can't fix)

Jesus, Take this burden (This burden)

I can't carry this

I am not that strong

All these worries on my shoulders

I've been holding for too long

So I lay them down

At the foot of Your cross

You are God and I am not, Lord

I surrender all I've held

No, I can't carry this

Jesus,

I place it in Your hands
