February 25, 2010 | 1 Comment This song was written by a mother (along with her husband) who carried her baby 34 weeks knowing the baby would not live soon after birth. I may never listen to it again because it is so hard for me to listen to without getting crazy emotional, but the words are so close to my heart. They are so close to the thoughts continually racing through my head. So, anyways, I thought I would share it with those of you who haven’t heard it. I Will Carry You There were photographs I wanted to take Things I wanted to show you Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes Who could love you like this? People say that I am brave but I’m not Truth is I’m barely hanging on But there’s a greater story Written long before me Because He loves you like this So I will carry you While your heart beats here Long beyond the empty cradle Through the coming years I will carry you All my life And I will praise the One Who’s chosen me To carry you Such a short time Such a long road All this madness But I know That the silence Has brought me to His voice And He says… I’ve shown her photographs of time beginning Walked her through the parted seas Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes Who could love her like this? I will carry you While your heart beats here Long beyond the empty cradle Through the coming years I will carry you All your life And I will praise the One Who’s chosen Me To carry you Share this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)
Natasha, Thank you for sharing your emotions and opening your soul with us. To open your heart is such a brave thing to do sister. Don't doubt for one second that Christ doesn't sit with His hand on your precious shoulder when you cry “Father, isn't there any other way?” Remember, He asked God His Father the same question. He loves you tenderly and He understands. Praying for you and your family. Love, Maria Reply
