When Words Fall Short

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When words fall short, You meet me there In the little breath that leaves the prayer You read the ache I cannot name And hold my heart without a shame [Pre-Chorus] Before I ask, You know my need Your quiet mercy carries me [Chorus] Jesus, You answer when I call You hear the sigh beneath it all You lift the mind the night has worn You lead me safely through the storm No chain can stand, no fear remain Your name is stronger than the pain Jesus, my refuge and my song In You, the weary heart grows strong [Verse 2] You find me counting every doubt And speak a peace that drives it out You stay beside the restless room Until the dawn begins to bloom [Pre-Chorus] When I have no more words to give Your faithful love reminds me live [Chorus] Jesus, You answer when I call You hear the sigh beneath it all You lift the mind the night has worn You lead me safely through the storm No chain can stand, no fear remain Your name is stronger than the pain Jesus, my refuge and my song In You, the weary heart grows strong [Bridge] You are near to the brokenhearted You are strength when mine is gone Every thought that says I’m defeated Meets the mercy of Your dawn You have conquered fear and darkness You have overcome the grave I will breathe beneath Your promise I am held, and I am safe [Final Chorus] Jesus, You answer when I call You hear the sigh beneath it all You lift the mind the night has worn You lead me safely through the storm No chain can stand, no fear remain Your name is stronger than the pain Jesus, my refuge and my song In You, the weary heart grows strong [Outro] When words fall short, You meet me there You know my need, You hear my prayer
