I Can't Keep This To Myself!

 You have carried me across the desert

And gave long drinks to my crusted lips

When I hungered you filled till I was fed

You didn't drill and list my "What if's"

When I lay abandoned and shattered

You gave me strength beyond my own

You showed me simply that I matter

More than for my suffering, I'm known

And I can't keep this to myself

You are our greatest source of help

 

Verse 1] You have carried me across the desert Long Slow drinks on my cracking lips When I hungered You filled me steady Turned my empty into gifts You did not dig through every failure Did not weigh me with “what ifs” You just sat there in the silence Let your kindness do the lift [Chorus] And I can’t keep this to myself You are our greatest source of help When I am breaking When I melt You hold the pieces You have felt Every fear I’ve ever held You are our greatest source of help [Verse 2] When I lay abandoned and shattered You lent strength beyond my own You kept whispering “You matter More than all the pain you’ve known” Now my story is your mercy Running wild through what I tell Every heartbeat is an echo Of the love that pulled me out of hell [Chorus] And I can’t keep this to myself You are our greatest source of help When I am breaking When I melt You hold the pieces You have felt Every fear I’ve ever held You are our greatest source of help [Bridge] Every desert Every dark room Every doubt that I have felt You stand steady in the shadows You are our greatest source of help [Chorus] And I can’t keep this to myself You are our greatest source of help When I am breaking When I melt You hold the pieces You have felt Every fear I’ve ever held You are our greatest source of help
