Take Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Woke up this morning
And life as you know it
Looks nothing like the kind of 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
Take a breath
Let Me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
Take My hand
I know it’s looking dark
When the world falls all around you
I won’t let you fall apart
Take heart
Take heart
Do you remember singing
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 holding on
I’m holding you
So take heart
Take a breath
Let Me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
Take My hand
I know it’s looking dark
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
Take a breath
Let Me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
Take My hand
I know it’s looking dark
When the world falls all around you
I won’t let you fall apart
So take heart
Child, take heart
