Lyrics
[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
