Verse 1
When my strength was almost gone When my heart was full of fear You did not step back from me You were always drawing near When the road was long and weary When I could not find my peace You were gentle in the waiting You have carried me
Chorus
You have carried me Through the valley and the storm You have carried me With a love that will not let me go You have carried me When my faith was weak and small Jesus, through it all You have carried me
Verse 2
Looking back, I see Your kindness All the ways You made a way In the sorrow, in the silence Still Your hand was under me I have never walked abandoned I have never been alone Through the burden and the breaking You have brought me home
Chorus
You have carried me Through the valley and the storm You have carried me With a love that will not let me go You have carried me When my faith was weak and small Jesus, through it all You have carried me
Bridge
When I could not stand You were strong for me When I lost my song You were singing over me When I could not see You were leading still Now my heart will trust And my mouth will sing
Bridge
When I could not stand You were strong for me When I lost my song You were singing over me When I could not see You were leading still Now my heart will trust And my mouth will sing
Final Chorus
You have carried me Through the valley and the storm You have carried me With a love that will not let me go You have carried me When my faith was weak and small Jesus, through it all You have carried me
