From the June 2010 edition of 
The Announcer 

 Not too long ago I was going through a rough patch.  This song helped me and though I may be violating copyright, I share them with you in case they may be of help.  It does help to hear them sung, however, as I heard it sung by the song’s composer, Amy Grant. 

        The song, found on her “Rock of Ages . . . Hymns & Faith” recording, is called “Carry You.”

 

“Lay down your burden, I will carry you

I will carry you, my child, my child.

Lay down your burden, I will carry you

I will carry you, my child, my child.

 

“Cuz I can walk on water

And calm a restless sea

I’ve done a thousand things you’ve never done.

And I’m weary watching

While you struggle on your own

Call my name, I’ll come.

 

“Lay down your burden, I will carry you

I will carry you, my child, my child.

Lay down your burden, I will carry you

I will carry you, my child, my child.

 

“I give vision to the blind

And I can raise the dead

I’ve seen the darker side of Hell

And I returned.

And I see those sleepless nights

And count every tear you cry

Some lessons hurt to learn.

 

“Lay down your burden, I will carry you

I will carry you, my child, my child.

Lay down your burden, I will carry you

I will carry you, my child, my child.”

Do we always let God carry us when we need to be carried?

                Keep the faith,
