Psalm 6:4-5

Verse 1 (plea — honest, worn but reaching)

Turn to me, O Lord, I’m calling
Hear me in this fragile place
Every breath feels like a question
Every step a need for grace
I have searched for strength within me
But it fades like morning dew
So I lift my voice to heaven
Only You can see me through

Verse 2 (the tension — feeling unheard, yet trusting)

Feels like silence in the waiting
Like You’re distant from my cry
But I know You reign above me
Even when the days run dry
If I fall before Your healing
If this body gives away
Who will stand and sing Your glory
Who will rise and give You praise

Chorus (center — strong, singable, sax can soar here)

Carry me through, carry me through
When I don’t have strength to stand
Carry me through, carry me through
Hold me in Your healing hand

By Your love, by Your grace
Not by anything I do
Carry me through, my God
I’m depending all on You

Verse 3 (revelation — Christ-centered clarity)

Now I see beyond the shadow
Past the fear of fading breath
There’s a life You’ve set before me
Even in the face of death
To be with You is my future
Still, I’ll walk while I remain
Let my life be filled with purpose
Let my voice still praise Your name

Verse 4 (outward — prayer for others)

There are hearts around me breaking
There are souls that need Your peace
Let me lift them up before You
Let their suffering find release
In the trials of this life, Lord
Be the strength we’re leaning through
Not just for me, but for my brother
Carry them, Lord—carry them too

Chorus (center — strong, singable, sax can soar here)

Carry me through, carry me through
When I don’t have strength to stand
Carry me through, carry me through
Hold me in Your healing hand

By Your love, by Your grace
Not by anything I do
Carry me through, my God
I’m depending all on You

Bridge (lift — simple, emotional, repeatable)

In the night, You are near
In the pain, You are here
Every breath, every cry
You are holding every life

In the night, You are near
We will trust, we won’t fear
Through it all, we will see
You are our eternity

Chorus (center — strong, singable, sax can soar here)

Carry me through, carry me through
When I don’t have strength to stand
Carry me through, carry me through
Hold me in Your healing hand

By Your love, by Your grace
Not by anything I do
Carry me through, my God
I’m depending all on You
