Finding Strength in Despair: Let Him Carry You
Lyrics
Vs-1)
Beginning of the first verse.
Drowning in the memories of your past mistakes
Feeling overwhelmed by memories of past mistakes.
Your hoping that the pain will just go away
Hoping that the emotional pain will eventually fade.
Trying hard to solve it all on your own
Attempting to solve problems independently.
But you can't overcome this battle all alone
Acknowledging the inability to face life's battles alone.
Chorus
Beginning of the chorus.
But he will carry you
Assurance that God will provide support.
When you can't stand
When you reach a point of weakness.
All you gotta do
Simple instruction to entrust your troubles to God.
Is put it in his hands
Encouraging reliance on divine assistance.
His mercy will endure
Emphasizing God's enduring mercy.
But you can be sure
Expressing certainty despite challenging circumstances.
No matter what your going through
Regardless of the hardship you're facing.
He will carry you

He will carry you.
Reaffirmation of God's willingness to carry you.
Vs-2)
Beginning of the second verse.
Right now you feel like there's just no way out
Feeling trapped with no apparent solution.
You're confused and your minds filled with so much doubt
Experiencing confusion and doubt.
You failed so many times you have no strength to go
Overwhelmed by repeated failures and lacking strength.
But in your moment of despair there's one thing you should know.
A moment of realization during despair.
