Karen Clark-Sheard - Can't Take It lyrics

rate me

[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.
