I will carry you.

There were photographs I wanted to take.
Things I wanted to show you.
Sing sweet lullabyes,
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 hangin' on.

But there's a greater story,
written long before me,
because He loves you 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 my life.
I will praise the one who's chosen me,
to carry you.

Such a short time.
Such a long road.
All this maddness but I know,
That the silence,
has brought me to His voice.

And He said,

I've shown her photographs of time beginning.
Walked her through the parted sea.

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.

I will praise the one who's chosen me to carry you.
