[Verse 1]
I wore the day like a heavy coat
Kept every worry close to my throat
When the house grew still and the hours ran long
I found my knees where I belonged
[Pre-Chorus]
I brought You the fear I could not explain
The names of the losses, the weight of the rain
You met me gently, You called me near
And taught my trembling heart to hear
[Chorus]
Jesus, You watch over me
When I am too tired to see
You carry the weight I cannot hold
Your mercy keeps my spirit whole
Jesus, I rest in Your care
You find me waiting there
With every breath, my heart can say
You will lead me through the day
[Verse 2]
I have counted the cracks in the ceiling above
Measured my failures against Your love
But Your hands are wider than all I have done
Your morning arrives before the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
So I loosen my grip on the plans I made
Lay down the burden, the debt, the shame
You do not turn from the weakest prayer
You make a shelter anywhere
[Chorus]
Jesus, You watch over me
When I am too tired to see
You carry the weight I cannot hold
Your mercy keeps my spirit whole
Jesus, I rest in Your care
You find me waiting there
With every breath, my heart can say
You will lead me through the day
[Bridge]
If tomorrow brings another hill
Your faithful hand will hold me still
I do not need to know the road
I only need the One who knows
[Final Chorus]
Jesus, You watch over me
Now my weary heart is free
You carry the weight I cannot hold
Your mercy keeps my spirit whole
Jesus, I rest in Your care
Your quiet peace is there
With grateful breath, my heart can say
You have held me all the way
[Outro]
I am safe beneath Your care
I can sleep, for You are there
