You gotta be tired lyrics

As a child, mama told me all about You

And all the things You've done

I wondered all these years how You kept goin'

And had the strength to carry on

She said You'd always be beside me

To help me up if I should fall

If I get lost You'll always find me

And all I have to do is call

When Moses cried for help to free his people

You opened up the mighty sea

When David said, 'He sure looks big, Lord!', You said

'Here's a stone and you've got Me!'

And when Daniel said, 'The lions are gonna get me Lord!' You said

'Get down, get down on your knees.'

And in six short days You made the world we live in

And still You find the time for me

Oh, You stayed up forty days and forty nights

Makin' all that rain

And when You see us messin' up this world You love so much

That's gotta bring pain

If I was big enough, and strong enough to help you, Lord, I would

But I can't

You gotta be tired, Lord

You gotta be tired
