Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hold me near

I know that You heal me

My eyes crying tears

My heart in humility

[PreChorus]

Plead my case, I pour my complaints

Here at the altar

Why should I carry this weight?

Why should I suffer?

When I have a Savior who intimately cares

For my sake

Yes, I have a Savior

Who came to bare this grief in my place

[Chorus]

I don't have to pretend like everything's okay

That's not what Jesus meant when He said to have faith

If you see me crying, I'm being true

Instead of lying about what I'm going through

I'm trusting God to heal my every wound

And I know He will

He makes all things new

All things new

[Verse 2]

Breathe life in death

I need you to resurrect

This heart from the depths

One touch from You is all I request

[PreChorus]

Plead my case, I pour my complaints

Here at the altar

Why should I carry this weight?

Why should I suffer?

When I have a Savior who intimately cares

For my sake

Yes, I have a Savior

Who came to bare this grief in my place

[Chorus]

I don't have to pretend like everything's okay

That's not what Jesus meant when He said to have faith

If you see me crying, I'm being true

Instead of lying about what I'm going through

I'm trusting God to heal my every wound

And I know He will

He makes all things new

[Outro]

I don't have to

'Cause He makes all things new

All things new

All things new

I don't have to

'Cause He makes all things new

All things new

All things new

I don't have to

'Cause He makes all things new

New

I don't have to

'Cause He makes all things new
