[Verse 1] Lord, I’m afraid Morning hits and the weight's already there Coffee cold, but my thoughts still burn and race Kids at the table I see their eyes and I feel so small Like I’m one wrong move from losing it all [Pre-Chorus] I tuck them in, then I come apart On my knees at the edge of the dark [Chorus] Lord, I’m afraid I’m gonna fail my children Afraid I’ll lead them out of Your way Afraid I’m not enough to love this woman Afraid my hands will let this promise break But You step into my fear You are here, You are here When I’m shaking, when I’m breaking You are strong, You are near Lord, I’m afraid But I am held inside Your grace [Verse 2] Bills on the counter Words with my wife that I can’t take back Every “sorry” still feels cracked in half Drive home in silence Every red light starts to look like shame I keep saying I’ll change, but I stay the same [Pre-Chorus] Then I hear You whisper through the noise “I’m the strength beneath your trembling voice” [Chorus] Lord, I’m afraid I’m gonna fail my children Afraid I’ll drift us far from Your heart Afraid I’ll miss it as a broken husband Afraid this house will fall apart But You step into my fear You are here, You are here When I’m shaking, when I’m breaking You are strong, You are near Lord, I’m afraid But I am held inside Your grace [Bridge] [Choir softly] You’re the Father when I don’t know how to lead You’re the Bridegroom when I stumble in my need You’re the Shepherd when I’m losing all my way You are mercy when all I can pray is [Lead & Choir – call and response] Lead: Lord, I’m afraid Choir: You are faithful, You are faithful Lead: Lord, I’m afraid Choir: You are steady, You are able Lead: Take my heart Take this home Take these hands I lift up shaking [Chorus] Lord, I’m afraid I’m gonna fail my children But You love them more than I do today Afraid I can’t be all she ever needed But You’re the One who teaches me to stay So step into my fear You are here, You are here When I’m shaking, when I’m breaking You are strong, You are near Lord, I’m afraid But I am held inside Your grace [Outro] Lord, I’m afraid Still I will say Over my home Your mercy remains (oh-oh) Lord, I’m afraid But I am held inside Your grace

Modern worship ballad with male vocals, gentle piano and warm pads in the verses; pre-chorus adds soft toms and bass swells. Chorus opens wide with full choir, organ, and steady drums, big gospel harmonies on the title line. Bridge lifts with modulated key, claps, and call‑and‑response between lead and choir, then drops back to tender piano for the final refrain.
