Ordinary Time // Week 2 // June 11-17

God, I’m way down again, 

tryin’ to pull myself up, pull myself up,

These bootstraps are wearin’ thin, 

and I think they might bust, think they might bust

People say you help those who help themselves, but I

Am tearin’ at the seams, fixing stitches in my dreams each night

God, I’m spread way too thin, 

in pretty deep, in pretty deep,

Muscles worn, bone-tired again, 

but can’t seem to sleep, can’t seem to sleep

Walking on a line weighs heavy on a mind made tough

God, I am afraid, I don’t know if I have faith enough

I can’t make it on my own. Help me

God, I feel overwhelmed, 

just tryin’ to keep up, tryin’ to keep up,

Wish that I could rest my eyes, 

but I can’t seem to, I can’t seem to

No room for a mistake, can’t figure out a way to stop

God, I am afraid, I know I don’t have faith enough

I can’t make it on my own. Help me
