Verse 1
Lord, I woke up with this weight on my chest,
Trying my hardest, but I’m not at my best.
I never thought I’d have to say goodbye so soon,
Now I’m searching for Your mercy in this lonely room.
I smile for the people that are counting on me,
While secretly begging You to give me peace.
The tears keep falling though I try to hide the pain,
Lord, pour Your strength on me like healing rain.
If I let go, I might fall apart,
So I’m placing every broken piece inside Your heart.
Pre-Chorus
Lord, if You don’t carry me, I won’t make it.
If You don’t hold me, I’ll fall apart.
I need Your mercy.
I need Your grace.
Wrap me in Your loving arms.
As I lay every burden at Your feet.
Don’t let me walk this road alone.
Heal my heart and strengthen my faith.
Chorus
Carry me, Jesus,
When I can’t carry myself.
Love me, Jesus,
Like nobody else.
Through every valley,
You’ll never let me go.
Carry me, Jesus…
Until I make it home.
Verse 2
There are nights I cry until I fall asleep,
Praying You’ll watch over the one I couldn’t keep.
Though my heart is shattered, You’re putting it together,
One broken piece at a time with Your unfailing love forever.
When I don’t have the words, You hear every silent plea.
When I don’t have the strength, You’re carrying me.
Every step I take, I know You’re leading me,
Until the day my heart finds perfect peace in Thee.
Pre-Chorus
Lord, if You don’t carry me, I won’t make it.
If You don’t hold me, I’ll fall apart.
I need Your mercy.
I need Your grace.
Wrap me in Your loving arms.
As I lay every burden at Your feet.
Don’t let me walk this road alone.
Heal my heart and strengthen my faith.
Chorus
Carry me, Jesus,
When I can’t carry myself.
Love me, Jesus,
Like nobody else.
Through every valley,
You’ll never let me go.
Carry me, Jesus…
Until I make it home.
Bridge
I’m tired, Lord…
Carry me.
I can’t make it without You.
Carry me home.
