Do you ever feel like life has handed you more than you can handle? Do you ever feel like what you’re carrying is too big for you? You’re exhausted. You’re burdened. You’re sad. You’re frustrated. You feel like you can’t go on. “Standby” by Trip Lee featuring Hulvey reminds us that there’s hope for us when we feel like we’re at the end of our rope. God can lift our burdens and strengthen us when we feel overwhelmed and have nothing to give.
Let “Standby” point you to God, who is big enough and strong enough and cares about you enough to shoulder the burdens you carry. Talk to God about what’s overwhelming you, ask Him for help, and trust Him to care for you.
Psalm 55:22 (NLT): “Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.”
Lyrics
Holy Father, keep my head abovе the water
I’ve been drownin’ in disordеr
I need you to slow the slaughter
Am I trusting while I’m climbin’? Kinda sorta
But you got good news for me, send me more reporters
Keep, gotta keep, keep
When my head is down, I can’t see
Forward vision pixelated when I need it HD
Sailing, navigate me to the Prince’s port like Haiti
I believe these rocky seas one day give way to safety
Save me from wandering through deserts
I’ve been grumblin’ and angry, can’t breathe
I got way more on my plate than I can take, it’s eatin’ me up
And I know you got new mercies for me daily, gotta re-up
And it’s time to tell the enemy to stand down
When they ask who got it, put my hand down
Tell me what I need with worry when my help comes in a hurry.
Why be scared of them when you can make ’em scurry?
I wake up early, just to
Standby
He can lift your burdens when your hands tied
Step outside, close your eyes, let him shade you
I feel alive when I hide, ‘cause I’m made to
Hey now
Standby
He can lift your burdens when your hands tied
Step outside, close your eyes, let him shade you
I feel alive when I hide, ‘cause I’m made to
