[Intro]
C G Am Em
C G Am
[Verse 1]
C G Am Em
Another night I'm awake in my bed
C G Am
There is no sleep in sight with the war in my head
C G Am Em
And I find my thoughts rising up instead
C G Am
Of waiting upon my God
[Verse 2]
C G Am Em
By 3am I am praying for sleep
C G Am
For the sun rises soon and I've had no relief
C G Am Em
Here making war but I'm desperate for peace
C G Am
And desperate upon my God
[Chorus]
Am C G
But my eyes are not raised too high
Am C G
And my heart is not lifted up
Am G C
I will calm and quiet my soul and I believe, help my unbelief
C G Am Em
C G Am
[Verse 3]
C G Am Em
I'm asking what is the meaning of this?
C G Am
Your thoughts higher than mine but your plan I resist
C G Am Em
So I find my thoughts in the shape of a fist
C G Am
Shaken angrily at my God
[Chorus]
Am C G
But my eyes are not raised too high
Am C G
And my heart is not lifted up
Am G C
I will calm and quiet my soul and I believe, help my unbelief
[Interlude]
C G Am Em
C G Am
C G Am Em
C G Am
[Verse 4]
C G Am Em
This simple song is my own lullaby
C G Am
When I find my voice hoarse cause I keep asking why
C G Am Em
Less of a question and more of a cry
C G Am
Of a child to a holy God
