carry me
Seventh Day Slumber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching within
I've come to the end of me
And I'm ready to begin
To find my purpose
To find my way
I'm reaching for you
And I can't do this on my own
Won't you carry me
My arms are wide open
I'm giving everything
Won't you carry me
Oh Lord I surrender
I'm letting go today
I'm forgiven
'cause you paid the price
I still can't seem to leave it all behind
All my failures
All of my mistakes
Still I'm reaching for you
And I am desperate
And I can't do this on my own
Won't you carry me
My arms are wide open
I'm giving everything
Won't you carry me
Oh Lord I surrender
I'm letting go today
And all of these years
So lost and broken
And all of these tears
I've walked alone
Now reaching for you
Won't you carry me
My arms are wide open
I'm giving everything
Won't you carry me
Oh Lord I surrender
I'm letting go today
Won't you carry me
My arms are wide open
I'm giving everything
Won't you carry me
Oh Lord I surrender
I'm letting go today
The song "Carry Me" by Seventh Day Slumber is a powerful plea for help and surrender to God. The singer in the song is at the end of their rope, having come to the realization that they are unable to find their purpose or way on their own. They are desperate for God to carry them through this difficult time, and are giving everything they have over to Him in surrender.
The lyrics throughout the song express a deep sense of humility and brokenness. The singer acknowledges their mistakes and failures, yet is still reaching out for God's help. The repeated chorus, "Won't you carry me, my arms are wide open, I'm giving everything," emphasizes this sense of surrender and trust in God.
The bridge of the song reinforces the theme of brokenness, with the singer acknowledging their lost and broken state before reaching out to God. The final repetition of the chorus serves as a powerful conclusion to the song, with the singer fully letting go and placing their trust in God's care.
Overall, "Carry Me" is a poignant expression of surrender and trust in God's care, and a reminder that we do not have to face our struggles alone.
