Woke up this morning and
And life as you know it
Looks nothing like the kinda life you knew before
All of a sudden
Fear stole the headlines
And it don't feel safe to even step outside your door
And life as you know it
Looks nothing like the kinda life you knew before
All of a sudden
Fear stole the headlines
And it don't feel safe to even step outside your door
In this world you will have trouble
But I have overcome the world
But I have overcome the world
So take heart
And take a breath
Let me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
Take my hand
I know it's lookin' dark
But when the world falls all around you
I won't let you fall apart
Take heart
And take a breath
Let me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
Take my hand
I know it's lookin' dark
But when the world falls all around you
I won't let you fall apart
Take heart
Do you remember singin'?
Back when you were younger
He's got the whole world in his hands
Well, that's still true
I hold your family, all your friends, and all your loved ones
And even when you're barely holdin' on
I'm holdin' you
Back when you were younger
He's got the whole world in his hands
Well, that's still true
I hold your family, all your friends, and all your loved ones
And even when you're barely holdin' on
I'm holdin' you
So take heart
And take a breath
Let me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
Take my hand
I know it's lookin' dark
But when the world falls all around you
I won't let you fall apart
Take heart
Take heart
Oh, take heart
Just take heart
And take a breath
Let me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
Take my hand
I know it's lookin' dark
But when the world falls all around you
I won't let you fall apart
Take heart
Take heart
Oh, take heart
Just take heart
In this world you will have trouble
But I have overcome the world
Oh, in this world you will have trouble
But I have overcome the world
But I have overcome the world
Oh, in this world you will have trouble
But I have overcome the world
So take heart
And take a breath
Let me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
Take my hand
I know it's lookin' dark
But when the world falls all around you
I won't let you fall apart
So, take heart
Child, take heart
And take a breath
Let me lift that heavy weight up off your chest
Take my hand
I know it's lookin' dark
But when the world falls all around you
I won't let you fall apart
So, take heart
Child, take heart

AboutWriter(s): Andrew Pruis, Matthew West
"Take Heart" was released on 04/10/2020, during the world-wide quarantine. Matthew West explained, how the song came about, "I was thinking the other day about one particular windy day at the beach when I decided to take a dip in the ocean despite the especially strong waves. The waves were relentless, and kept hitting me one after the other." He added further, "That's how I've felt lately with the state of our world. Wave after of wave has hit me and threatened to take me under. Waves of doubt. Waves of fear. Waves of anxiety. Waves of financial pressure."
This song is based on the verse John 16:33: "In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
