Can’t Take It
[Verse 1:]
I would go on throughout my day
Thought I was okay
But I really didn't have commitment

I was prestige in many eyes
They didn't see me cry
I really could hide my torment

Though it seemed I was fine
It continued all the time
I'm only human and the pressure is getting to me

[Chorus 1:]
I just can't take it no more
My strength has walked out the door
And it left me and told me I can't go no more

I just can't take it no more
Just want to lay down and die
God, if You hear me, come near me
You're my only hope

[Verse 2:]
I wish I had another chance
I would fervently seek Your hand
I would've survived the avalanche
I didn't see the road to take
So I gave my life away
And there's no way I can pray from a grave

Though it seemed I was fine
It continued all the time
I'm only human and the pressure is getting to me

[Chorus 1]

[Bridge:]
Listen to me, You can do all things
If you turn to God, One who made you...

[Chorus 2:]
You've got to take a little more
Your strength has walked out the door
And it left you and told you it can't go no more

You've got to take a little more
Might want to lay down and die
Just know God hears you, He's near you
He's your only hope
