[Verse]
A E
There were photographs I wanted to take
F#m D E
Things I wanted to show you
D F#m
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
D A E
Who could love you like this?
A E
People say that I am brave but I'm not
D E
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
F#m D
But there's a greater story
E
Written long before me
A E
Because He loves you like this
[Chorus]
A D
So I will carry you
F#m E A
While your heart beats here
D
Long beyond the empty cradle
E
Through the coming years
A D
I will carry you
F#m E D
All my life
F#m E D
And I will praise the One Who's chosen me
E A
To carry you
[Bridge]
D
Such a short time
A
Such a long road
E
All this madness
D
But I know
That the silence
A E
Has brought me to His voice
And He says
[Verse]
A E
I've shown her photographs of time beginning
F#m B E
Walked her through the parted seas
D F#m
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
D E
Who could love her like this?
[Chorus]
A D
I will carry you
F#m E A
While your heart beats here
A D
Long beyond the empty cradle
E
Through the coming years
A D
I will carry you
F#m E D
All your life
F#m E D
And I will praise the One Who's chosen Me
E A D
To carry you
