Carry Me Through

[Intro – Soft Jazz Piano + Organ]

[soulful hums, almost a prayer]

Mmm… oh God, oh God…

[Verse 1 – Gentle, Jazzy Flow]

I’ve been walkin’ down a road so long,
Every step feels heavy, every night feels wrong.
But the dawn still whispers, “Child, hold on,”
Even broken hearts can still sing a song.

[Pre-Chorus – Strings join]

Mmm, when the night gets colder…
And my faith grows thin…
I hear a voice inside me sayin’,
“Girl, rise again!”

[Chorus – Brass Kick In]

Carry me through the fire, carry me through the rain,
Lift me higher, God, take away my pain.
I was lost in the darkness, but I found the truth—
Love’s the only reason I’m still standin’, still standin’…
So carry me through.

[Verse 2 ]

I’ve been shattered, broken, bruised…
(You’re not alone, you’ve been chosen, too)
But I’ll keep fightin’, I won’t let go…
(Cause the Spirit’s burnin’, deep in your soul)

[Bridge – Piano + Light strings, Slow Build]

[Piano + Organ swell, singer ad-libs]

When my knees are weak… 
(ohhh I’ll rise!)
When my eyes can’t see… 
(shine the light!)
When my heart can’t beat… 
(sing it loud!)
God still carries me!

[Final Chorus – Full Choir, Brass Exploding, Ad-libs Flying]

Carry me through the fire, carry me through the rain!
Lift me higher, God, take away my pain!
I was lost in the darkness, but I found the truth—
Love’s the reason I’m still standin’, still standin’…
So carry me through, yeah yeah yeah!

[Outro – Organ]

[singer riffs]

Mmm… carry me… carry me through…
Ooooh, I’m still standin’…
Yes I’m standin’…
Carry me through…
