Worn

Sometimes music can speak to you exactly what you need to hear.  I've heard this song so many times on the radio, but it wasn't until I was putting the girls to bed tonight that I really heard the song on their radio.

Life has been really difficult around our home these past couple of months.  Most days after teaching special needs kiddos, coming home to parent special needs kids and trying to keep up with all the therapies, I feel that I have NOTHING left.  I've been short more times than I want to admit and exhausted. 

These realities have required that Mark and I re-exam our life, our priorities, and our goals.  Ultimately we have decided that I am going to be home full time.  Part time work, just turned out to be a lot more "part-time" than I was realizing it would be.  20 hours a week quickly became 30 hours a week, which is nearly impossible to balance a life of three kids with special needs.

This song was written by Tenth Avenue North Called Worn

I'm tired, I'm worn
My heart is heavy
From the work it takes
To keep on breathing
I've made mistakes
I've let my hope fail
My soul feels crushed
By the weight of this world
And I know that You can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left
Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That You can mend a heart that's frail and torn

I wanna know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
‘Cause I'm worn
I know I need
To lift my eyes up
But I'm too weak
Life just won't let up
And I know that You can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That You can mend a heart that's frail and torn

I wanna know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
‘Cause I'm worn

I wanna know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
‘Cause I'm worn

I know I need
To lift my eyes up
But I'm too weak
Life just won't let up
And I know that You can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left

My prayers are wearing thin
I'm worn
Even before the day begins
I'm worn
I've lost my will to fight
I'm worn
So Heaven come and flood my eyes

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That You can mend a heart that's frail and torn
I wanna know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that's dead inside can be reborn
‘Cause I'm worn

Yes, all that's dead inside will be reborn
Though, I'm worn
I'm worn
