Weary one, weary one in Your weakness
There is a hope that brings strength
Lonely heart, lonely heart in your longing
There is a plan for the ache
All of our suffering for life everlasting
All of our sorrow for good
At the cross we find healing
At the cross we find peace
At the cross we find Jesus
At the cross we find all that we ever need
Faithful one, faithful one in your calling
There is a love that sustains
Desperate soul, desperate soul in your seeking
There is a truth that remains
Bring your heartbreak, bring your tears
Bring your grieving
Lay it at the cross
Bring your questions, bring your fear
Bring your anger
Lay it at the cross
Bring your battles, bring your loss
Bring your trials
Lay them at the cross
Bring your future, bring your past
Every moment
Lay it at the cross
