Take Heart by Matthew West Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning
And life as you know it
Looks nothin' like the kind of life you knew before
All of a sudden
Fear stole the headlines
And it don’t feel safe to even step outside your door

[Refrain]
In this world, you will have trouble
But I have overcome the world

[Chorus]
So take heart
And take a breath
Let me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
But take My hand
I know it’s lookin' dark
When the world falls all around you
I won’t let you fall apart
[Post-Chorus]
Take heart
Take heart

[Verse 2]
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 holding you

[Chorus]
So take heart
And take a breath
And let Me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
But take my hand
I know it’s lookin' dark
When the world falls all around you
I won’t let you fall apart

[Post-Chorus]
Take heart
Take heart
Oh, take heart
Just take heart
[Refrain]
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

[Chorus]
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
