lyrics

Do all of your ends feel frayed and tired
Like the weight of the world has quenched the fire in you?
Like the grip of electricity,
Are you trapped inside anxiety’s control?
Do you feel that ache on the inside?
Do you know the one who takes it?

CHORUS:
He can carry your heart, he can carry your heart
If he could carry his cross to the place of the skull
He can carry a faith to the depths of your soul
He can carry your heart, he can carry your heart
If even death couldn’t make his body stay buried
Then the one who loved you better than any other can carry your heart

Is everything you’ve ever done wrong
Hanging strapped on your back, just dragging you down to hell?
Do you know that there’s a narrow climb
That the weakest and the weariest take to find relief?
Do you feel that weight hanging on you?
Do you know the one who takes it?

Don’t you know the children of the freedom
Are the ones who can dance at the valleys and mountains alike?
Oh, but don’t you know the burden of the free
Is to go and be the hands and the feet
Of the one who brought them all to life
As their lungs ring out the line:

CHORUS:
“He can carry your heart, he can carry your heart”

So stand up child, live up to your calling
Look to the one who is desperate and falling
And carry your heart, go and carry your heart
Cause if you have joy and peace in Christ
Would you look to your neighbor and lift up his eyes
When he asks where to look for the joy that’s inside, say,
“The one who loved you better than any other can carry your heart”
