I Will Carry You

I wanted to share this beautiful song that has touched me in so many ways. There are days I just want to wake up and this all be just a bad dream. I still cannot believe it is happening, but this song puts words to so much of what I am feeling at this moment. My favorite line is "I will praise the One who's chosen me to carry you." As I try with all my might to praise Him, I so don't want to be the one He has chosen. But just as I type those words, my heart says I would not trade being Cade's mommy for anything in this world.

I Will Carry You (Audrey's Song)
There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?

People say that I am brave but I'm not
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
But there's a greater story
Written long before me
Because He loves you like this

So I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the One who's chosen me
To carry you

Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But I know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
And He says

I've shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted seas
Angel lullabies no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?

I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All your life
And I will praise the One who's chosen me
To carry you
