Work In Me, Oh Lord

[Verse 1]
(Male)
I’ve sung these words a thousand times
But my heart still runs
Still hides
I bring the pieces that I broke
Lay them down where mercy spoke
(Female)
I’m tired of trying to pretend
I need a love that doesn’t end
So here I am with empty hands
Whispering what I don’t understand
[Chorus]
Both:
Work in me
Oh Lord
I can’t change this on my own
Every wall I’ve built
Come and break it
Stone by stone
I am tired
I am torn
Make my heart like Yours
I am crying at Your feet
Work in me
Oh Lord
[Verse 2]
(Female)
You see the anger and the ache
The hidden vows I’d never break
You touch the fears I never name
And gently bring them into flame
(Male)
I’ve known the verses in my mind
But I get lost in my own pride
So pull me closer than my shame
And write Your love across my name
[Chorus]
Both:
Work in me
Oh Lord
I can’t change this on my own
Every wall I’ve built
Come and break it
Stone by stone
I am tired
I am torn
Make my heart like Yours
I am crying at Your feet
Work in me
Oh Lord
[Bridge]
(Male)
If You say “stay
” I’ll stay
(Female)
If You say “go
” I’ll go
Both:
If You say “wait
” I’ll wait here
Till Your river starts to flow
(Female)
Take this heart of winter
(Male)
Breathe a deeper song
Both:
Till every hidden corner
Starts singing
“You are strong” (oh Lord)
[Chorus]
Both:
Work in me
Oh Lord
I can’t change this on my own
Every wall I’ve built
Come and break it
Stone by stone
I am tired
I am torn
Make my heart like Yours
I am crying at Your feet
Work in me
Oh Lord
[Outro]
(Female, soft)
All I am is Yours
(Male, soft)
All I need is Yours
Both:
Hold me in Your mercy
And keep working in me
Lord

Tender worship ballad with piano and gentle acoustic guitar; male and female vocals trading lines then joining in close harmony. Verses stay intimate and hushed, sparse chords and soft fingerpicking; chorus blooms with sustained chords, light pad, and stacked harmonies. Subtle swells and a late bridge lift the emotion, then a quiet, reverent ending on a held unison note., worship, sad, female vocals
