He Will Carry Me


~Mark Schultz






Helpless. I feel helpless to fight Satan

When he wants into our home. Lord help me!

Save me when to evil I awaken,

Seeing it attack my loved ones ‘round me.


Perhaps it’s because it took my baby;

Charmed and lured her—a wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing,

Then destroyed her—my baby’s gone; maybe

That’s why I detest all his forms of doping.


Help each of us to see th’ lion stalking,

Sneaking ‘round us to catch us in his snare,

Lurking ‘round each corner where we’re walking—

In th’ constant battle o’ spiritual warfare.


Who could find a home, a safer bastion

Than this one steeped in our Father’s sweet love?

So how could Satan come in and steal one—

A lamb as precious as th’ innocent dove.

Our enemy prowls ‘round like a roaring

Lion, looking for someone to devour;

God, how could You, midst parents’ imploring,

Allow him t’ lure our child t’ such an ending, dour?


God, I cannot understand this side of Heav’n

How such a little lamb could be smitten

With such a deadly act of vile vengeance

By such (a) diabolical, treasonous Henchman.


. . . Until I reflect back on Heav’n’s own Lamb,

The Beloved Son of the Great I Am

Th’ Father’s own Perfect, Holy, Chosen One

Who was wounded, bleeding, beaten, broken,

Unmercifully slain ‘midst God’s abandon,

Not for sins o’ His own, but for my lamb’s ‘n my own.



My child, you won’t understand now, but know Him

Who died for you ‘n your lamb’s sorrow; just adore Him.

Child, this is a broken world, so broken,

My Own lamb had to break in, be broken:

You’ll see her again when by death you’re woken,

For He, for your lamb, by His death has spoken.

He Will Carry Me


~Mark Schultz




I call, You hear me
I’ve lost it all
And it’s more than I can bear

I feel so empty


You’re strong
I’m weary
I’m holdin’ on
But I feel like givin’ in
But still You’re with me


Chorus:
And even though I’m walkin’ through
The Valley of the Shadow
I will hold tight to the hand of Him
Whose love will comfort me
And when all hope is gone
And I’ve been wounded in the battle
He is all the strength that I will ever need
He will carry me



I know I’m broken
But You alone
Can mend this heart of mine
You’re always with me


And even though I’m walkin’ through
The Valley of the Shadow
I will hold tight to the hand of Him
Whose love will comfort me
And when all hope is gone
And I’ve been wounded in the battle
He is all the strength that I will
Ever need
He will carry me

He will carry me


And even though I feel so lonely
Like I have never been before
You never said it would be easy
But You said you’d see me through the storm


And even though I’m walkin’ through
The valley of the shadow
I will hold tight to the hand of Him
Whose love will comfort me
And when all hope is gone
And I’ve been wounded in the battle
He is all the strength that I will
Ever need
He will carry me

He will carry me

He will carry me
