Lord, I Am Tired… 💔 | A Father’s Prayer That Left the Entire Audience in Tears | Mikhail Bennett

“Lord, I Am Tired…” is a deeply emotional Gospel Blues testimony told through the prayer of a father who has spent years carrying the weight of his family while quietly hiding his own exhaustion. Behind every strong father may be a tired heart, unanswered prayers, financial worries, sleepless nights, and fears he never speaks aloud. This song is for every father who keeps showing up even when he feels empty, and for anyone who needs to remember that they were never meant to carry everything alone. With soulful electric guitar, warm organ, gentle piano, prayerful male vocals, and heartfelt gospel harmonies, this song moves from weariness and hidden pain into surrender, renewed faith, and trust in God. May these words remind you that God sees every sacrifice, hears every silent prayer, and can carry both you and the people you love. 🙏🏾 Leave your prayer request in the comments. ❤️ Like, share, and subscribe for more emotional Gospel Blues testimony songs from Mikhail Bennett. LYRICS: [Verse 1] Lord, I am tired, but they need me strong. So I hide the tears and carry on. I wake before the morning light, And hold my worries through the night. There are bills upon the table, There are dreams my children bring. I tell them, “Everything will be alright,” While inside I’m barely breathing. They don't see me in the hallway, Asking heaven for one more day. They don't know how often, Father, I have whispered, “Please make a way.” I have carried all their burdens Like their future rested on me. Lord, I am tired of pretending. Please be strong where I am weak. [Pre-Chorus] I have been the arms that held them, Now I need Your arms tonight. Father, hold this weary father. Keep my family in Your sight. [Chorus] Lord, I am tired, don't give up on me. When my strength is almost gone, Be the strength my children need When I cannot carry on. Guard the ones I love so deeply. Walk where I cannot see. Lord, I am tired, but I still believe. Please don't give up on me. [Verse 2] I confess I tried to be their savior, Tried to fix what only You could mend. Every fear about tomorrow Made me worry without end. I thought love meant never resting, Never showing I was scared. But tonight I give You everything, Every burden, every prayer. Take my children in Your keeping. Guide their footsteps when I'm gone. Give them wisdom, give them mercy, Keep their hearts forever strong. And forgive me for believing Everything depended upon me. I am only still their father. You are God of everything. [Pre-Chorus] Take the future from my shoulders. Take the fear from these tired hands. Let me love them without carrying What belongs inside Your hands. [Chorus] Lord, I am tired, don't give up on me. When my strength is almost gone, Be the strength my children need When I cannot carry on. Guard the ones I love so deeply. Walk where I cannot see. Lord, I am tired, but I still believe. Please don't give up on me. [Bridge] You were Father when I failed them. You were there when I felt small. You provided through the seasons When I thought I'd lose it all. Let the guitar cry these tears now. Let the organ rise like grace. Let the choir whisper softly, “God will hold your family safe.” I don't have to carry heaven. I can place them at Your feet. [Outro] Morning finds me still a father, Still imperfect, still Your child. But the weight feels different now, Lord. For the first time, I can smile. I will work, I will keep praying, But I'll leave tomorrow free. Hallelujah, You are holding Those who mean the world to me. Lord, I am tired, But now I know: You will carry them, And You will carry me. #MikhailBennett #DeepGospelBlues #LordIAmTired #GospelBlues #ChristianBlues #FathersPrayer #EmotionalTestimony
