Crossroads of my life
Take over Lord,
I can’t carry on no more
Better lay my burdens down
Take over Lord, carry me through
I used to think that on my own
I could make it all alone
I have hurt so many people
I have let my mother down
Take over Lord, carry me through
Carry me I’m at the crossroads
Carry me I’m at the crossroads
Carry me through
Carry me I’m at the crossroads
Carry me I’m at the crossroads
Carry me through
There are races never run
Battles never won
Take over Lord, yea…eh
I was fighting my own war
Did not know it had been won
Take over Lord, carry me through
So now I lay my arms down
I cannot fight this fight no more
Take over Lord,
I am sorry I have failed
Please let me try again
Take over Lord, carry me through
Carry me, I’m at the crossroads
Carry me, I’m at the crossroads
Carry me through
Carry me, I’m at the crossroads
Carry me, I’m at the crossroads
Carry me through

I'm glad I finally found this song.. I remembered just the chorus and I would sing it when I went through trauma of being involved in an almost fatal car accident and being struck by lighting within the space of three months.. God saw me through!

@clarandlovu3280
When my grandfather passed away I could not go for his burial. A few months after his death I went kumusha to see where he was buried and as I returned from graveyard this song was playing in my grandma's lounge. I just fell on the door and wept bitterly. But God has carried me through since then.❤️
