Carry me, Your love is wider than my need could ever be
Come to me, and I will walk along the shoreline
Where Your crashing waves sing in time with the pounding of my heart
Come down, pour out on me
Come down, pour out on me
River deep, could I know You as well as You know me
Constantine, we will travel faster, farther than these
Legs could ever trustworthy be
Come down, pour out on me
Come down, pour out on me
Carry me
by Jars of Clay
I've loved this song since my freshman year of college, but it's meaning resonates deeply within my heart now more than ever. When I became pregnant with Hannah, I sang this song every day. With so much on my mind -- the gamut of worries, fears, gladness and gratefulness -- God gave me a song that reminded me that He is my peace. Even now in my new home, I sing this song over Hannah on night's that she has trouble falling asleep. And in the dark as I sing my child to sleep, I see how my Heavenly Father holds me even still.
