Carry Me by Steve Camp

I love this prayer filled song asking the Lord God to carry us in this world.

I remember this song when my life was unbearable, and completely unlike what I had been brought up to expect —the worst of which was my own inability to obey what God demanded, except only when he did it in me! This song was part of what forced me to rethink my theology.

Good words, good music.

This is a good song, and has good meaning, and shows how we all suffer in life as Christians, but God will protect us. Wish we had songs that had deep meanings like this in 2024. Steve Camp is the Jeremy Camp or Chris Tomlin of the 1980s-1990s. Thank for sharing this, cos I did not hear of this song until your post.

Reminds me of this classic verse from Psalm 121:
Psalm 121:7-8 (NIV): "The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore."

The verse sounds more beautiful in the KJV. Warming up to that Bible version slowly, cos the Psalms seem to have a more poetic quality in the KJV, while the rest of the OT, Gospels especially and NT are easier to read in the NKJV, NIV and ESV.

Psalm 121:7-8 (KJV): The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
