Love That Carries Me
When the road is rough and steep,
And my weary soul can barely weep,
When my strength has reached its end—
Your love helps me through again.
When the valley dark and deep
Steals the promises I keep,
When my faith begins to bend—
Your love helps me through again.
When the storms of life descend,
And I cannot comprehend,
When I've lost my way, my friend—
Your love helps me through again.
Not with thunder, not with force,
But with gentle, steady course.
Not with anger or with shame,
But with love that calls my name.
You reach down and take my hand,
Help me rise and help me stand.
Whisper peace that has no end—
Your love helps me through again.
Through every trial, every test,
Through every doubt that I've confessed,
Through every wound that needed tending—
Your love helps me, never ending.
So I will trust You all my days,
And walk in Your love's faithful ways.
For when my strength cannot break through,
Your love helps me—it sees me through.
