[Verse 1]
They told me, “Give it to the Lord”
So I laid it on the floor
But every dawn came back around
With more weight than before
My mama said, “Baby, keep the faith”
So I kept my face held high
Still some nights I stared at the ceiling
And I asked Him, “Why?”
[Pre-Chorus]
If He’s holding all my tears
Why do they still fall?
If He knows me by my name
Why I feel so small?
I’m trying to trust that there’s a reason
But my heart keeps getting thin
I need a little mercy, Lord
I need You to reach in
[Chorus]
Put it in God’s hands
That’s what they say
Put it in God’s hands
And hope He makes a way
But it sure feels heavy
When the hurt don’t leave
Put it in God’s hands
And He gotta carry me
[Verse 2]
I seen good folks bend and break
While the proud keep standing tall
Seen one girl pray through every storm
And still lose it all
So tell me where the blessing lives
When the well runs dry
Tell me why the faithful bleed
While the lucky pass by
[Pre-Chorus]
If He’s holding all my tears
Why do they still fall?
If He knows me by my name
Why I feel so small?
I’m trying to trust that there’s a reason
But my heart keeps getting thin
I need a little mercy, Lord
I need You to reach in
[Chorus]
Put it in God’s hands
That’s what they say
Put it in God’s hands
And hope He makes a way
But it sure feels heavy
When the hurt don’t leave
Put it in God’s hands
And He gotta carry me
[Bridge]
I’m not mad, I’m just tired
Of the waiting and the ache
Tired of smiling through the cracks
Tired of saying “I’m okay”
If You hear me in the dark
If You’re closer than the pain
Show me one small sign of love
Let my soul say Your name
[Chorus]
Put it in God’s hands
That’s what they say
Put it in God’s hands
And hope He makes a way
But it sure feels heavy
When the hurt don’t leave
Put it in God’s hands
And He gotta carry me
