I'm Crying Out!

Verse 1

God, I'm crying out, I've fallen once again,

I'm tired of this battle that never seems to end.

My pockets are empty, my spirit's worn so thin,

I don't know how I got so far from where I've been.

I'm thirty-eight and waiting for a family of my own,

No wife beside me, no children, and I'm walking all alone.

I keep chasing broken dreams, believing they'll be right,

But every road I choose without You disappears into the night.

Pre-Chorus

I carry everybody else's pain,

While silently I'm breaking underneath the weight.

Lord, remind me once again...

Chorus

I'm just the actor—You're the Director.

Why do I keep trying to rewrite the story?

My pride takes over, my fear grows stronger,

And I forget You're writing every page before me.

I'm crying out, Father, hear my desperate heart.

I don't want this distance. I don't want to fall apart.

Take back the pieces that I've tried to hold.

I surrender everything—my future, heart, and soul.

Verse 2

Every burden whispers that I have to fix it all,

But every time I take control, I'm setting up my fall.

My ego tells me I'm enough, but deep inside I know

Without Your loving hands to guide me, I don't know where to go.

I'm tired of pretending that I'm stronger than I am.

Lord, I'm raising empty hands instead of perfect plans.

Bridge

Break my pride...

Heal my heart...

Lead me back to where You are.

If I have to crawl, then I'll crawl to You.

If all I have are tears, let them worship You.

If my voice is shaking, let it still be true—

Jesus, all I really want is You.

Not the answers... not the blessing...

Not the future I have dreamed.

Just Your presence... just Your mercy...

Be enough for me.

Final Chorus

I'm just the actor—You're the Director.

Teach me how to trust Your hands again.

Write Your story through my weakness,

Turn my sorrow into songs of praise again.

I'm crying out, Father, don't let go of me.

Even when I wander, You're still calling me.

You've never left me, even when I've failed.

So here I am, surrendered—because Your love has never failed.

Outro

Here I am... broken but believing.

Here I am... empty but receiving.

Here I am... crying out Your name.

Jesus... bring me home.
