Take Heart

Woke up this morning and
And life as you know it
Looks nothing like the kinda life you knew before
All of a sudden
Fear stole the headlines
And it don't feel safe to even step outside your door

In this world you will have trouble
But I have overcome the world

So take heart
And take a breath
Let me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
Take my hand
I know it's lookin' dark
But when the world falls all around you
I won't let you fall apart
Take heart

Do you remember singin'?
Back when you were younger
He's got the whole world in his hands
Well, that's still true
I hold your family, all your friends, and all your loved ones
And even when you're barely holdin' on
I'm holdin' you

So take heart
And take a breath
Let me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
Take my hand
I know it's lookin' dark
But when the world falls all around you
I won't let you fall apart
Take heart
Take heart
Oh, take heart
Just take heart

In this world you will have trouble
But I have overcome the world
Oh, in this world you will have trouble
But I have overcome the world

So take heart
And take a breath
Let me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
Take my hand
I know it's lookin' dark
But when the world falls all around you
I won't let you fall apart
So, take heart
Child, take heart
