Lyrics

Lord, You know it's been a busy day.

Expressing acknowledgment that the day has been busy.

And I'm just weary to my bones

Feeling physically exhausted or fatigued.

I hope You'll understand if I don't pray

Expressing a hope for understanding from God due to tiredness affecting the ability to pray.

But I need my rest to carry on.

Needing rest in order to continue with daily responsibilities.

Why do I kid myself, You see my heart

Acknowledging that God sees the true inner self despite attempts to hide it.

The me I try so to ignore.

Struggling to confront one's true self, which is attempted to be ignored.

And Lord You know how very weak I am

Admitting personal weakness openly to God.

I just can't hide it any more.

Recognizing the inability to conceal personal weakness any longer.

Chorus:

Chorus: A realization of dependence on God.

All of a sudden I knew

Realizing a sudden understanding or insight.

That I'd never be wanting

Acknowledging that one will never lack or be in want while relying on God.

As long as I'm leaning on You.

Expressing reliance on God for sustenance and support.

Oh Lord, all that I need is You.

Stating that God is the sole necessity.


Everytime when the doubting comes And I seem to lose my way,

During moments of doubt and confusion, feeling lost.

When I cry within 'cause I need a friend

Feeling the need for a friend but struggling to communicate this need to God.

But I just don't say You know that I need You.

Acknowledging the necessity of God despite difficulty in expressing it.

All at once it's clear, even though You're here

Realizing the attempt to manage life without relying on God's guidance.

I've tried to make it on my own. I'm not trusting You.

Admitting a lack of trust in God's support while attempting independence.

Lord, you know that I really need our time together.

Expressing the need for quality time with God.

Only your strength can see me through

Understanding that only God's strength can provide the needed support.

So talk with me now As You walk with me now in this quiet time

Desiring communication and guidance from God during a quiet moment.

I'm waiting on You Cause...

Waiting on God for guidance and support.

Repeat Chorus twice

Reiteration of dependence on God as expressed in the chorus.
