Hmm… just be still for a moment
Let your heart become quiet again
The years have left you feeling weary
Carrying thoughts no one else can understand
Through the day, you hide the pain inside
Pretending everything is alright
But in the silence of the night
You wrestle with the questions in your mind
They say you have to chase tomorrow
You have to find your own way
But who can see the burdens you carry?
Who knows the words you never say?
The tighter we hold on
The heavier it becomes
Until we learn that some things
Were never ours to carry alone
You say, “Do not worry about tomorrow
I have already made the way
Just bring your heart before Me
I hear every word you pray”
Cast your cares on Him
Lay your burdens in His hands
Every prayer you whisper
He remembers, He understands
Come with thanksgiving
You don’t have to be afraid
His perfect peace will meet you
And gently lead the way
Cast your cares on Him
Trust the One who walks beside you
Every road you cannot travel
He will carry you through
Even when the storm is raging
Your heart can still be calm
Because He has always been here
You are safe within His arms
I’m learning now to let go slowly
To stop carrying everything alone
A simple prayer of hope
Can become a light inside my soul
When I bow down in surrender
And bring my heart before the King
The things I thought I couldn’t release
Begin to lose their weight in me
Cast your cares on Him
Lay your burdens in His hands
Every prayer you whisper
He remembers, He understands
Come with thanksgiving
You don’t have to be afraid
His perfect peace will meet you
And gently lead the way
You don’t need many words
He already knows your heart
One cry for help is enough
His love will never be far
Though this world may feel uncertain
His love remains the same
Cast your cares on Him
Lay your burdens in His hands
All the weight you’ve carried
You can finally release again
When you reach the end of the journey
And look back at where you’ve been
You will see through every moment
He was there with you all along
Rest now, my child
Let go, and trust again
He has always been here
He will always remain
