Take Heart - Matthew West

Woke up this morning and

And life as you know it

Looks nothing like the kinda 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

And take a breath

Let me lift that heavy weight up off your chest

Take my hand

I know it’s lookin' dark

But when the world falls all around you

I won’t let you fall apart

Take heart

Do you remember singin'?

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 holdin' on

I’m holdin' you

So take heart

And take a breath

Let me lift that heavy weight up off your chest

Take my hand

I know it’s lookin' dark

But 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

And take a breath

Let me lift that heavy weight up off your chest

Take my hand

I know it’s lookin' dark

But when the world falls all around you

I won’t let you fall apart

So, take heart

Child, take heart
