You carried me

Verse 1

I thought I was holding up the sky with my two hands

Breathing heavy like it all depends

On me, on me

But You were steady this whole time

Writing mercy in between the lines

I see, I see

Pre-Chorus

Ohhh I don’t have to fight the wave

You’re the One who makes a way

Even when my heart would shake

You never moved

Chorus

No more bracing

No more fear in my bones

You’re my covering

I’m not carrying this alone

Jesus, You’ve been faithful all along

Now I’m dancing

’Cause the battle isn’t mine

Post-Chorus (layered, repeatable)

Eh-eh-eh

I’m not drowning

Eh-eh-eh

I am held

Eh-eh-eh

You surround me

And I’m safe, I’m safe

Verse 2

I was scanning every corner of the room

Waiting for the other shoe

To drop, to drop

But You were guarding every door

Every season, every war

You fought, You fought

Pre-Chorus 2

Ohhh I don’t have to strive for air

You were always standing there

Even when I wasn’t aware

You carried me

—

Chorus (layered and rhythmic)

No more bracing

No more fear in my chest

You’re my refuge

I can finally rest

Jesus, You’re the peace I confess

Now I’m dancing

’Cause I know I am blessed

Bridge (Afro call & response)

Leader: Who kept me?

Response: You did!

Leader: Who held me?

Response: You did!

Leader: When I was weary?

Response: You did!

All:

You never left, You never changed

You stayed the same, You stayed the same

Build section (repeat + stack vocals)

I can rest now

I can breathe now

I can live now

I’m free

I can trust You

I don’t have to

Hold it all

On me

—

Final Chorus (dance break energy)

No more bracing

Hands up, open wide

You’re my Father

I’m Your child

Jesus, You’ve been here all the while

Now I’m dancing

Like a daughter reconciled
