I am a well
Barren and dry
Nothing left but emptiness on the inside
I am a rope
Burnt at both ends
Getting shorter everyday and wearing thin
If there's a purpose for the struggle that I'm in
Father, let it be
Help me to believe
Jesus tell me stories of the times you felt like me
Spirit, let me see
The forest through the trees
Help me understand these are the plans you have for me
If it's your will, God, let it be
Here is my soul
Desperate for you
Praying the promises you made were for me too
Here is my heart
Torn but alive
Beating, searching for someone to hear my cries
Father, let it be
Help me to believe
Jesus tell me stories of the times you felt like me
Spirit, let me see
The forest through the trees
Help me understand these are the plans you have for me
If it's your will, God, let it be
Oh, I can feel you moving
I hear you calling me
"Fall deeper into my arms"
That's where I long to be
You made the stars
You call me by name
When I'm weary, You still hear me, so I'll pray
Father, let it be
Help me to believe
Jesus tell me stories of the times you felt like me
Spirit, let me see
The forest through the trees
Help me understand these are the plans you have for me
Give me patience and the strength to let you lead
If it's your will, God, let it be
Oh Father, let it be
Father, let it be yeah
Oh Father, let it be
