When I need space

Life gets heavy for all of us,

Feelin’ that weight, tryin’ to earn that trust,

Work all week just to pay those bills,

Sometimes it’s peace we’re tryin’ to feel.

Some folks run, some people hide,

Some hit the gym or take a drive,

Me, I grab my clubs or cast that line,

Find a little quiet where my soul can unwind.

⸻

When I need space, I don’t run away,

I just go where I can hear Him say,

“Son, slow down, breathe and pray,

I’m right here, I ain’t goin’ away.”

Whether it’s the course, the cold, or my truck in the yard,

That’s where we talk when life gets hard,

Yeah, when I need space…

I go talk to God.

⸻

Married life ain’t always smooth,

Love takes work, and that’s the truth,

Kids grow fast, and time just flies,

I blink once, another season slides.

We all got dreams, we all got pain,

Days we break and days we gain,

But when it’s too much for my hands to hold,

I give it to Him and let Him take control.

⸻

When I need space, I don’t run away,

I just go where I can hear Him say,

“Son, slow down, breathe and pray,

I’m right here, I ain’t goin’ away.”

Some hit the mountains, some hit the sand,

Me, I find peace with a wrench in my hand,

Yeah, when I need space…

I go talk to God.

⸻

We all got moments when the noise gets loud,

When the pressure hits and we’re not proud,

But He don’t judge, He just listens through,

Every word, every tear, He’s pullin’ us through.

And when I head back home again,

See my wife and my little one grin,

I’m reminded how blessed I am,

And I thank the Lord for who I am.

⸻

When I need space, I don’t hide my face,

I lift my eyes, feel His grace,

“Son, you’re mine, you’ll find your way,

Just keep talkin’ to Me every day.”

Whether it’s the lake, the road, or my front yard,

That’s where He meets me when life gets hard,

Yeah, when we need space…

We go talk to God.

⸻

So if you’re out there feelin’ lost,

Carryin’ your life’s heavy cross,

Just take a breath and drop that guard,

‘Cause peace begins when you talk to God.
