Carry Me

Step by step I’ve stumbled through the desert
Blinded by the sun, how can I stand?
Just a drop of cool refreshing water…
I need a touch from you, Lord, take my hand

Carry me across the lonely desert
Hold your hurting child to your breast
Dry these tears that fill my eyes forever
Carry me up to my home of rest

Troubled waters are splashing all around me
And surely in just a moment I will drown
Just wrap your arms around me for, Lord, I’m sinking
And you’re my only hope, I need you now

Carry me across the raging water
Hold your hurting child to your breast
Dry these tears that fill my eyes forever
Carry me up to my home of rest

For, I know that in your arms I will find safety
Oh, and there’s nothing on this old world that can harm me now
Through the darkness always lead me, Lord
I’m lost without your love
Help me make it to my home above

Carry me up through the clouds to glory
Hold me in your arms, I need to rest
Dry these tears that fill my eyes forever
Carry me up to my home of rest

Carry me up to my home of rest
