Let Love Carry Us

Lyrics by Jenny Van Alstyne © 2012


You loved me 
When I was small
Couldn’t stand
You made me tall
You were always there for me
You gave me peace

Taking care of me
Couldn’t have 
Always been 
that easy
But you sought to
See me through

It’s your love
That carried me
It’s your love
Weathered this sea
Hopeful boat,
Now, a hopeful boat 
Sights on shore
Now, a hopeful boat,
Now, a hopeful boat
Sights on shore


Let love carry us,
Carry us, to solid ground
Let love carry us,
Carry us, Peace be found

When the world
Threw you a curve
You held your course
You didn’t swerve
You were always there for me
More than I deserved

Taking care of me
Couldn’t have 
Always been 
That easy
But you sought to
See me through

It’s your love 
That carried me
It’s your love
Weathered this sea
Hopeful boat,
Now, a hopeful boat 
Sights on shore
Now, a hopeful boat,
Now, a hopeful boat
Sights on shore

Love now carry, carry
To solid ground
Love now carry, carry
Peace be found
Love now carry, carry
To solid ground
Love now carry, carry
Peace be found
Peace be found
In your arms, ohhh
