He'll Carry Me
by Greater Vision

Album: Faces

They took the lifeless body down from calvary.
Struggled just to stand beneath the load
the blood spilled on his hands and on his clothing
still Joseph sang as he stumbled down the road.

(Chorus:)
I'll carry him upon my shoulder. I'll bear the marks, endure the shame.
I'll serve my friend, 'til life is over and that is when the world will see,
he'll carry me.
With every step his mind replayed the memory of the day the lord had made his life anew.
Yet this load on Joseph's back is not so heavy
compared to the promise that was waiting at the tomb.
I too have walked beneath a heavy burden,
stumbled down a dark and lonely road
trying hard not to be discouraged
knowing victory awaits when i reach home.

(Bridge:)
he'll carry me when he calls me from my sleeping
he'll carry me towards the land of perfect day
across the golden veil into the glory
where he'll set me safely down inside the gate
until then I'll strive to walk and not grow weary
I'll gladly bear my cross for all the world to see
I'll count it joy to carry Christ my savior
for very soon, he'll carry me

Tag:
until then I'll strive to walk and not grow weary
I'll gladly bear my cross for all the world to see
I'll count it joy to carry Christ my savior
for very soon, he'll carry me
very soon he will carry me - he'll carry me
