Though I have nothing, my life is an off’ring
I lay me down
Steady my heart, Lord, in suff’ring and sorrow
I lay me down
When lost in the shadows, remind me of Your promises
I’m holding onto the breaking of the dawn
When Your light shines through
I breathe in Your breath
My heart is at rest
You’re bringing the dead things to life
You turn the tables, I know You are able,
Your will be done
Give strength for today, would You guide my tomorrow
Your will be done
Out of the ruins, You’re making me whole
The Giver of Life is awakening hope
I lift my eyes to see Your faithfulness
So take courage my soul
Take courage my soul
