Carry Me Through



Sometimes I get down
And feel far from the Lord
I know He's still there
But my heart feels torn
I lift my eyes and call on Him
I know that He'll carry
Yes He'll carry me through

When my feet don't want to go one more step
I lift my voice; pray to God, He's always there
I thank the Lord for all He's given to me
When I feel so all alone, He'll carry me through

Bruised and beaten
Left here to die
But you have rescued
This child's life
Take hold of the wheel
Of this ship lost at sea

Lord, take my life; make it what you'd want it to be

 When my feet don't want to go one more step

I lift my voice; pray to God, He's always there
I thank the Lord for all He's given to me
When I feel so all alone, He'll carry me through
