Jesus Carries Me

I only saw one set of footprints
When I looked back on my past
Knowing all the places that I'd been
Dark roads I traveled blind in the daylight
Not realizing I was in a war losing every fight 
Indulged in so many different things
Felt like I was something special in my own eyes
Deceived by the enemy every wrong was my right
I could've died without ever knowing You
My Jesus
Missing out on the beautiful love just for me
Thank you my Lord and savior for caring me

You never would leave me alone
And You never would let me go
Held my hand and guided my steps
Wiped every tear away whenever I wept
I didn't know You then but I do now
Oh Jesus You're my someway and my somehow 

Ohhhhhhhhhh

For years I felt like I was a man
But really a little boy who just didn't understand 
Understand what it meant to be Your child
I was dumb and ignorant running buck wild
While I chased after so many false illusions 
You slowed me down to walk when I wanted to run
Picked me up when I could barely stand
When I look back now I only see Your prints in the sand
Lord You've carried me my whole life
Purged my soul to remove what wasn't right
Because of You I can finally see
Just how much You truly love me


You never would leave me alone
Thank You, Emanuel 
And You never would let me go
No no no no
Held my hand and guided each one of my steps
Wiped every tear away whenever I wept
I didn't know You then but I do now
You're my Savior 
Oh Jesus You will always be my someway and my somehow

I give You Glory and praise Your name
Now that I know You this world just isn't the same
So many lies out there waiting to be
The replacement in my mind 
Like they used to be
But Your words are what keep me clear 
Light to my path and my way to steer
You never would leave me alone

And You never would let me go

Held my hand and guided my steps

Wiped every tear away whenever I went

I Didn't know You then but I do now

Oh Jesus You're my someway and my somehow
