_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _
I've been trying to stay strong I've been carrying [Gm] too much for too long _
Please don't [Eb] let me walk this road alone _ _ I've _ been walking down [Bb] this long road
With this old guitar in [Gm] my hands Every mile [Eb] feels a little heavier
Than I [Bb] ever planned I sing my pain into [Gm] the silence _ _
Hoping you hear [Eb] my song _ But tonight these strings [Bb] feel broken _
And I can't carry this [F] alone _ _ I've been pretending [Gm] I'm okay _ _
Smiling just to [Eb] get by But you see the weight [Bb] I'm holding
When all I do is cry I [Eb] can't carry this [Bb] alone
This load is more than I can hold These scars, these fears, [Am] this tired [Gm] soul
Lord, I can't carry this alone If you don't walk beside my [Eb] way
If you don't help me make it home Lord, I need you right here [F] now
I can't carry this alone
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _
I've been playing [Bb] through the nights Trying to keep my [Gm] faith alive _
Every prayer feels [Eb] unfinished _ Every truth hard [Bb] to survive _
This guitar feels like my burden Every chord [Gm] reminds me why
I _ need you more than [Eb] my own strength _ More than the tears [Bb] I hide _ _
I've been strong for [Gm] everyone But I'm breaking inside
If you don't lift this weight [Eb] from me I don't [Bb] know how I'll survive
Lord, [Gm] I can't carry this alone This load is more than I can hold
These scars, these fears, this tired soul Lord, I can't carry this alone
If you don't walk beside my [Eb] way If you don't help me make it home
Lord, I need you right here [F] now I can't carry this alone
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
When my hands start shaking When my faith runs thin
Take [Gm] this weight I'm holding I'll lay it all with you
[Eb] Every step, every mile, every broken song Lord, [F] I need your strength tonight
I can't stay [Bb] strong on my own _
Lord, I can't carry this alone This road is darker than I know
But if you're here I'll keep [G] on going [Gm] Lord, I can't carry this [G] alone
Lift this burden from [Eb] my chest Teach my heart to let it go
Lord, I'm laying this [Bb] down Now I can't carry this [C] alone
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ Lord, we give you the weight [Gm] The pain, the fear
[Eb] The things we can't say Please carry what [F] we no longer can
Amen
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Lord, we come to you just as we are Not with strong words of perfect faith
But with honest hearts Some of us are carrying more than we can explain
[G] Some of us are tired in ways no one else can see
And tonight we admit what we have been holding [Eb] inside
We cannot carry this alone
[Bb] _
You see the [G] weight on our shoulders Lord The worries we wake up with
The fears that follow us through the day
The pain we try to hide behind [C] silence and routine
We have tried to be [Eb] strong for too long
And now we place it all in your hands
For those who feel overwhelmed be their rest For those who feel [Bb] lost be their guide
For the ones who feel they [G] are failing Remind them that you are still walking [D] beside them
Teach us that asking for help is not [Eb] weakness It is trust
Lord, we lift up the children to you Protect their hearts and their minds
Let them grow surrounded by love, safety and hope
[Gm] Keep fear far from them And place gentle hands [G] around their future
May they [Eb] learn early that they are never alone
We pray for the elderly [Eb] Lord For hands that have worked hard
And hearts that have endured many seasons
Remind them that their lives still matter deeply
That their prayers are powerful [Bb] That their stories are not finished
Give them comfort, peace and a deep [Gm] sense of belonging
We also lift up our country before you
Where there is division bring healing Where there is anger bring understanding
Where there is fear bring peace Teach us again how to care for one another
With grace and humility Help us remember that we are all your [G] children
For anyone listening right now who feels crushed by responsibility
[Eb] Pain or loss, Lord, draw near to them
Let them feel your presence like a steady hand on their back
Whisper to [Bb] their hearts that they do not have to carry this alone
That you are [Gm] strong enough where they are weak
That your grace is enough for this moment
Hold us, Lord, when we feel like giving up [Eb] Carry us when our strength runs out
Lead us step by step Even [F] if all we can see is the ground in front of us
We [G] place our weight, our fear and our future in you
We trust you We rest in you
And we [Eb] thank you For never letting go
In Jesus' holy name
[F] _ Amen
_ _ [Bb] We trust you We rest in you
[Gm] We thank you [G] For never [Eb] letting go
In Jesus' _ _ [F] holy name _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
