This song describes some of my mental health struggles as a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, and how my faith strengthens me to carry on because God cares for me (1 Peter 5:7).

lyrics

He Cares for You
(Inspired by 1 Peter 5:7 and my personal mental health journey)

Verse 1
I put up a front
That we are all the same
That I am okay
That I can do it all
But the truth is
I am not okay

Verse 2
Chores left undone
My mind cannot unwind
I cannot sleep
I cannot get up
For the truth is
I am not okay

Chorus
Sometimes we fall
Sometimes we fight
Too negative
To see the truth
Too hurt to care

Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we panic
Too anxious
To wait for You
Too quick to move

Verse 3
I say to myself
Don't trust in anyone
To hide my pain
To put a smile on
But the truth is
I am not okay

Bridge
When you see somebody else's
Life which seems so good and perfect
You're comparing yourself

Cast all your cares
Upon the Lord
For He cares for you

Ending
You are my peace
You are my strength
My comforter
My healer
My hope and joy

I love you Jesus
I wait for you
Use my tears and prayers
My weaknesses
Oh for your glory
