sometimes I don't have the words

I'm not usually one for just posting lyrics. But I just came upon this song and it speaks my heart. It's called I Will Carry You by Selah.

There were photographs I wanted to take

Things I wanted to show you

Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes

Who could love you like this?

~

People say that I am brave but I’m not

Truth is I’m barely hanging on

But there’s a greater story

Written long before me

Because He loves you like this

~

So I will carry you

While your heart beats here

Long beyond the empty cradle

Through the coming years

I will carry you

All my life

And I will praise the One

Who’s chosen me

To carry you

~

Such a short time

Such a long road

All this madness

But I know

That the silence

Has brought me to His voice

And He says…

~

I’ve shown her photographs of time beginning

Walked her through the parted seas

Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes

Who could love her like this?

~

I will carry you

While your heart beats here

Long beyond the empty cradle

Through the coming years

I will carry you

All your life

And I will praise the One

Who’s chosen Me

To carry you

~
