He Knows How He Carried Me

I don’t feel broken
I don’t focus on my scars
I don’t feel desperate when I talk to Jesus
because He knows how He carried me
and how far

I might be in a storm
and I might be tired
But I have to be pretty worn out
before I pause or think of giving up
and even then
I know I just need to hand the reins to God
and take a nap

I have passed through many rivers
and never been overcome
I have walked through many flames
and I have never caught on fire
Sometimes when you think you are reminding me
that I am not alone
I worry that over the sound of you I won’t hear the voice
that got me through these trials
That created this trust I hold

When you look at my mistakes and call them failures
God has taught me
to be thankful for the learning process
You said I am here because I earned it
But you don’t truly comprehend that I have never been alone
I have walked with God since I was a child
And when I needed more
Karen was ready to step in and even if you can’t understand
God is head of our household
and together we stand side by side

I am here to learn to trade love for fear
and to be a blessing
Christ was challenged while He was on earth
why would I expect anything different
If I want to be like Him
I should expect a few trials
but I have mercy and love because He said so

It only looks like I am walking here
because He has been carrying me all along
