~Shared with me by 

Grieving Mother, Leslie Nelson Martin 

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 want to 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 want to 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

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 want to know a Song can rise

from the ashes of a broken life

and all that's dead inside

can be reborn

Yes all that's dead inside

Will be reborn

Though I'm worn

Yeah, I'm worn

Then Jesus said, 

"Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.

"Take My yoke upon you. Let Me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

"For My yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."

Matthew 11:28-30 (New Living Translation of The Holy Bible)

Jesus proclaimed in Luke 4:17-21 of The New Testament that He had come to this earth to fulfill the prophecy spelled out for us in The Old Testament, in Isaiah 61:

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on Me,

because the Lord has anointed Me

to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim freedom for the captives

and release from darkness for the prisoners,

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor

and the day of vengeance of our God,

to comfort all who mourn,

and provide for those who grieve in Zion—

to bestow on them a crown of beauty

instead of ashes,

the oil of gladness

instead of mourning,

and a garment of praise

instead of a spirit of despair.

They will be called oaks of righteousness,

a planting of the Lord

for the display of his splendor.

~Isaiah 61:1-3 (New International Version of The Holy Bible)
