Demetrius

I carry the weight of the world sometimes

Feel the pain and the joy in another man's eyes

I work so hard just to make a way

But I let the worry steal my peace away

Lately the road has been pulling me down

Searching for light when the shadows surround

But I fold my hands and I bow my head

And I remember the promises the good Lord said

Demetrius, don't you dare give up

God is pouring His grace in your empty cup

His love is real and He hasn't left

So take a deep breath and give Him the rest

Celebrate this life for what it is

You are held in the mighty hands of His

Keep the faith when your spirit is sore

'Cause the Lord's got the very best in store

I count the blessings He's put in my life

Through the heavy days and the business strife

It's rough out here on my own two feet

But I'm hanging in there and the grace is sweet

I bonded my heart with my grown-up son

And I thank the Lord for my new grandson

My youngest girl is under my roof today

And it's a beautiful gift just to guide her way

Demetrius, don't you dare give up

God is pouring His grace in your empty cup

His love is real and He hasn't left

So take a deep breath and give Him the rest

Celebrate this life for what it is

You are held in the mighty hands of His

Keep the faith when your spirit is sore

'Cause the Lord's got the very best in store

I've been down and out in the valley low

But my empathy is real, and the Spirit knows

I won't let the shadows defeat my soul

I'm giving the Savior the full control

He's got favor over me, yes He does

I am wrapped in the warmth of a Father's love

So Demetrius, don't you dare give up

God is pouring His grace in your empty cup

His love is real and He hasn't left

So take a deep breath and give Him the rest

Celebrate this life for what it is

You are held in the mighty hands of His

Keep the faith when your spirit is sore

'Cause the Lord's got the very best in store

Keep on praying, there is an open door

And God's got the very best in store
