CARRY ME
CARRY ME
When darkness of times descend, when I am hopeless, lost, and farthest from you,
comes the comfort of assurance that you will carry me through.

When mundane struggles threaten to impede and to mire,
arises the hope in the knowledge that you will carry me higher.

When my knees buckle in burdens so each step becomes an increasing endeavor,
I'll run yet again, for you are willing to carry me forever.

When temptations besiege my strength, when I can no longer hold it at bay,
when the sweat drop like bloodlets in my weakness, you will carry me away.

When sin entangles my flesh so that my soul cries to be unwound,
comes the gentle pressure of a bent shoulder as you carry me unbound.

When the seas of grief rise where I drown in the depths of inconsolable loss,
amid the incapacitating waves of hurt, I am lifted, as you carry me across.

When my last breath is hushed, my whispery life now unfettered and alone,
in the moment of that final felt heartbeat, you will come to carry me home.
