When I Pray

All I can think about is what I did wrong

Every little failure playing on and on

Every missed step, every harsh word said

Echoes in my heart, won’t leave my head

I try to be strong, but I fall apart

Carrying the weight of a restless heart

The mirror tells me I’ll never change

Shame keeps calling out my name

But when the noise gets loud inside my mind

There’s only one place I can find

When I pray to Jesus, the darkness fades away

All the things I couldn’t fix don’t matter like they did yesterday

He takes my broken pieces, puts them back in place

Speaks mercy over every mistake

When I lay it at His feet, my soul is free again

All I can’t do right don’t stand a chance

When I pray… when I pray

I count my flaws like they’re trophies on a shelf

Blaming every problem on myself

Trying hard just to be enough

But grace reminds me love is tough

I hear His whisper through my tears

“Child, I’ve been here all these years”

And suddenly the weight I bear

Feels lighter in His care

When doubt is louder than my faith

I call His holy name

When I pray to Jesus, the darkness fades away

All the things I couldn’t fix don’t matter like they did yesterday

He takes my broken pieces, puts them back in place

Speaks mercy over every mistake

When I lay it at His feet, my soul is free again

All I can’t do right don’t stand a chance

When I pray… when I pray

It’s not about perfection

It’s about surrender

Not about performance

It’s about the Savior

Every fear, every scar

He knows exactly who we are

And still He loves us just the same

So I’ll fall on my knees

With every worry

Every burden I carry

When I pray to Jesus, peace begins to flow

All the voices telling lies don’t have control

He turns my mess to message, my trials into praise

Shines His light into my darkest days

When I lay it at His feet, my heart can stand again

All I can’t do right finds grace within

Everything’s okay

When I pray.
