Leeland's song 'Carry Me on Your Back' is a worshipful plea for God's protection and strength during life's storms. The lyrics acknowledge human frailty and the temporary nature of earthly things, while affirming that God's promise never fails. Imagery of raging oceans, burning furnaces, and darkness is met with confidence in God's presence and rescue. The chorus repeatedly asks the Lord to carry the singer through the storm, expressing total dependence. The song concludes with a vision of waking up in the arms of love and singing a new song, suggesting hope and ultimate deliverance. It's a heartfelt expression of trust and surrender to God's care.

Even heroes fall down
And mountains won't last forever
But Your promise never fails
When the ocean is raging
I find stillness in Your presence
And I lift my voice to say
'Jesus take me away!
Carry me on your back
Through the storm, Lord!
Carry me on your back
Through the storm, Lord!'
When the furnace is burning
I know rescue is coming
Your promise never fails
In the darkness Your light shines
Breaking over the horizon
And I lift my eyes to see
Heaven's fighting for me
'Carry me on your back
Through the storm, Lord!
Carry me on your back
Through the storm, Lord!'
Waking up in the arms of love
I'll be singing, singing a new song
Waking up in the arms of love
I'll be singing, singing a new song
Carry me on your back
Through the storm, Lord!
Carry me on your back
Through the storm, Lord!
