Worn

I am weary. I am tired.

My patience is wearing thin.

I only wish to go to bed 

And start the day again.

You told me You delight in me.

I know that I am blessed.

It's hard to lift my eyes to You.

I'm aching for Your rest.

I want to know the answers.

I want to shine Your light.

I can hardly hold the lantern. 

It's been a lonely night.

Father, even when I'm worn,

You know my longing heart.

Eventually the dawn will come,

And a brand new day will start.
