I Will Carry You

I came across this song on a blog my mom sent me to: http://audreycaroline.blogspot.com/. She and her husband lost a daughter (who was born and lived for a couple of hours.) This song represented how she was feeling and even though I never carried my baby physically in my arms, it was in my womb and my heart. I started shedding tears after the first line. In this moment, I feel like it also represents how I feel.


I Will Carry You
by Angie Smith

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
