Lord, I'm here, can I be honest?
I'm not over the last thing
It gets hard to hold on to what you've promised
I trust there's a blessing, if I keep pressing
You won't give me more than I can handle
And whatever I can't do, I can give it to you
When I feel like all my strength is gone
You carry me, so I can carry on
Let your past hear the sound of your feet on the ground
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Like Christ did the cross so our souls won't be lost
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on
Keep on moving
Carry on
You can do it, just keep on moving
Carry on
Lord you give and you take away
I choose your path I know you're with me
If alone is where you want me then I'll go
Goodness and mercy I know shall follow me
You won't give me more than I can handle
And whatever I can't do, I can give it to you
When I feel like all my strength is gone
You carry me, so I can carry on
Let your past hear the sound of your feet on the ground
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Like Christ did the cross so our souls won't be lost
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on
Keep on moving
Carry on
You can do it, just keep on moving
Carry on
You ain't gotta be fast
You ain't gotta be first
You just gotta endure
Keep movin'
Got a lot more strength
Stronger than you know
This is not the end
Keep movin'
You ain't gotta be fast
You ain't gotta be first
You just gotta endure
Keep movin'
Got a lot more strength
Stronger than you know
This is not the end
Keep movin'
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', carry on
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', carry on
Hold on, I won't let go
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Hold on, I won't let go
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', carry on
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', carry on
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', carry on
Keep movin', keep movin'
Keep movin', carry on
