Heavy
Had as much as I could carry
The weight was extra ordinary
Asking when will it end
When will it be normal again
So empty
That was where you came to get me
First real taste of mercy
I knew right when you came
Something had changed
That I'll never forget
You took this heart
All broken, battered, and bruised
You shaped it into something new
And I'm not going back cause I've seen what you do
You took this burden
Heavy, holding me down
Thank God that I don't wear it now
And I'm not going back to the old life I knew
Because that was my life before you
No more fearing
Pain is not the only season
I got some hope and You're the reason
I can rest in your love
No matter what comes
And I'm not turning back
You took this heart
All broken, battered, and bruised
You shaped it into something new
And I'm not going back cause I've seen what you do
You took this burden
Heavy, holding me down
Thank God that I don't wear it now
And I'm not going back to the old life I knew
Because that was my life before you
There's no trouble that I can't get through
There's no moment that I'm not brand new
I'll never live another day without you
You took this heart
All broken, battered, and bruised
You shaped it into something new
And I'm not going back cause I've seen what you do
You took this burden
Heavy, holding me down
Thank God that I don't wear it now
And I'm not going back to the old life I knew
Because that was my life before you
