Carry Me

Kevin Downswell's 'Carry Me' is a prayerful gospel song about relying on God's strength when human strength fails. The lyrics express a cry for divine help during difficult, dark seasons, echoing Psalm 121 by lifting eyes to the hills. The chorus repeatedly asks the Father to carry the singer when they reach the end of themselves. The bridge affirms that help comes from the Lord, the Creator. The song is a heartfelt surrender and trust in God's sustaining grace.

INTRO

FOR YOUR GRACE IS SUFFICIENT TO KEEP US. FOR YOUR STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT WHEN WE ARE WEAK.


VERSE 1

When the road is long and heavy

When it?s dark and I can?t see clearly

I will lift mine eyes to the hills

From whence my help cometh

My help it comes from You


PRE-CHORUS

Lead me oh, lead me oh, lead me

To where I?ve never been before

A place I?ve never seen before 


CHORUS

When I?ve come to end of myself

Father carry me

Father carry me

When I?ve come to the end of myself

Father carry me

Father carry me


VERSE 2

When the road is long and heavy

When it?s dark and I can?t see clearly

I will lift mine eyes to the hills

From whence my help cometh

My help it comes from


PRE-CHORUS

Lead me oh, lead me oh, lead me

To where I?ve never been before

A place I?ve never seen before 


CHORUS

When I?ve come to end of myself

Father carry me

Father carry me

When I?ve come to the end of myself

Father carry me

Father carry me


BRIDGE

I know my help comes from the Lord

The one who made heaven and earth

You?re mighty

Your stronger than any other

One thing that I desire of You

That I may dwell here with You

Forever

I?m chasing no other 


CHORUS

When I?ve come to end of myself

Father carry me

Father carry me

When I?ve come to the end of myself

Father carry me

Father carry me


VAMP

Lead me oh, Lead me oh, lead me

Carry me over

Lead me oh, Lead me oh, lead me

Carry me over

(Rep)


CHORUS

When I?ve come to end of myself

Father carry me

Father carry me

When I?ve come to the end of myself

Father carry me

Father carry me


END!
