Lyrics
Oh, my soul
Oh, how you worry
Oh, how you're weary from fearing
You lost control
This was the one thing
You didn't see coming
And no one would blame you though
If you cried in private
If you tried to hide it away
So no one knows
No one will see
If you stop believing
Oh, my soul
You are not alone
There's a place where fear
Has to face the God you know
One more day
He will make a way
Let Him show you how
You can lay this down
'cause you're not alone
Here and now
You can be honest
I won't try to promise
That someday it all works out
'cause this is the valley
And even now
He is breathing on
Your dry bones
And there will be dancing
There will be beauty where beauty was
Ash and stone
This much I know
Oh, my soul
You are not alone
There's a place where fear
Has to face the God you know
One more day
He will make a way
Let Him show you how
You can lay this down
'cause you're not alone
I'm not strong enough
I can't take anymore
You can lay it down
You can lay it down
And my shipwrecked faith
Will never get me to shore
You can lay it down
You can lay it down
Can he find me here?
Can he keep me from going under?
Oh, my soul
You are not alone
There's a place where fear
Has to face the God you know
One more day
He will make a way
Let Him show you how
You can lay this down
'cause you're not alone
Oh, my soul
You are not alone

Song History & Meaning
Composer / Hymnodist: Bernie Herms, John Mark Hall
When unexpected storms shatter our sense of control, it is easy for worry and weariness to take root deep within our souls. We often feel pressured to hide our tears and put on a brave face, even when our faith feels fragile. Yet, Jesus warmly invites us to bring our honest pain, quiet doubts, and heaviest burdens directly to Him. You do not have to carry this alone or pretend to be strong; Christ is your safe refuge, gently anchoring your heart in His peace.
