Lyrics
I WAS CARRIED
Words and music by Roma Waterman
Vs1
If you ask me how I?m feeling -
Broke to pieces - now I?m healing
And if you wonder how I get through-
There?s something stronger than me and you
Vs2
When I look back I keep smiling
Cos through the heartache I kept fighting
I?m not perfect some days I fall
But I don?t give up through it all
Pre
There has been a kiss of grace
On my weary tear stained face
And I cannot walk away
From this truth I know
CH
I was carried in the arms of a stronger man
I was lifted by the angel?s gentle hand
I was rescued from the eye of a raging storm
I was given wings to fly over it all
There?s no other way to say it no no no
I was carried
Vs3
Well I had given
And life had taken
?Till I had nothing
But my aching
But in the desert
A river flowed
Until freedom
Is all I owned
Pre
