Worn

This is turning out to be one of those weeks where I drag myself home at the end of the day, exhausted and spent. I kept thinking today was Tuesday when it, in fact, is Wednesday. Normally I would rejoice in having the workweek fly by so quickly and being one day closer to the weekend, but I am up to my eyeballs in projects so I could actually use a little more time in my week, not less. 

On top of the busy workload, I've had to deal with car repairs this week (including one that's been a recurring problem over the past year and a half), which has been frustrating. I got the car back today (and thankfully my kind parents loaned me one of theirs to use while mine was being worked on) so I'm hopeful that all issues, recurring and not, are resolved. 

Several months ago I first heard the song "Worn" by Tenth Avenue North, and it's one of those songs that comes back to me on days like today when I feel totally brain fried by day's end. Although I currently feel more mentally and physically worn out than emotionally, I still find the song to be comforting in the midst of what feels like a somewhat chaotic week. And perhaps someone (perhaps you?) need to be comforted by the song today, which is why I'm sharing it with you now. 

"Worn" by Tenth Avenue North

I’m tired I’m worn

My heart is heavy

From the work it takes

To keep on breathing

I’ve made mistakes

I’ve let my hope fail

My soul feels crushed

By the weight of this world

And I know that you can give me rest

So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win

Let me know the struggle ends

That you can mend a heart

That’s frail and torn

I wanna know a song can rise

From the ashes of a broken life

And all that’s dead inside can be reborn

Cause I’m worn

I know I need to lift my eyes up

But I'm too weak

Life just won’t let up

And I know that you can give me rest

So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win

Let me know the struggle ends

That you can mend a heart

That’s frail and torn

I wanna know a song can rise

From the ashes of a broken life

And all that’s dead inside can be reborn

Cause I’m worn

My prayers are wearing thin

Yeah, I’m worn

Even before the day begins

Yeah, I’m worn

I’ve lost my will to fight

I’m worn

So, heaven come and flood my eyes

Let me see redemption win

Let me know the struggle ends

That you can mend a heart

That’s frail and torn

I wanna know a song can rise

From the ashes of a broken life

And all that’s dead inside can be reborn

Cause all that’s dead inside will be reborn

Though I’m worn

Yeah I’m worn
