Trying

Verse 1

Winter light through the chapel pane

I counted every crack in the floor

Sunday shoes and a Sunday name

But I'm not sure what I came here for

Pre-Chorus

Hold me steady

Hold me close

When I'm not ready

Chorus

Oh Lord I'm trying

I'm trying to find my way back home

Oh Lord I'm trying

I'm trying to believe what I was shown

Carry the doubt

Carry the weight

Carry me over before it's too late

Verse 2

My mother's hymn on a cassette tape

She sang it soft when the nights got long

I got the verses but not the shape

Of a faith that feels like a song

Pre-Chorus

Hold me steady

Hold me close

When I'm not ready

Chorus

Oh Lord I'm trying

I'm trying to find my way back home

Oh Lord I'm trying

I'm trying to believe what I was shown

Carry the doubt

Carry the weight

Carry me over before it's too late

Bridge

Maybe grace is just a door left open

Maybe mercy's just a hand that waits

Maybe I don't need to have the answer

Maybe I just need to show up late

Chorus

Oh Lord I'm trying

I'm trying to find my way back home

Oh Lord I'm trying

I'm trying to believe what I was shown

Carry the doubt

Carry the weight

Carry me over before it's too late
