God Can Carry It

God can carry it (carry it)
What my strength cannot hold
God can carry it
What is breaking up my soul

I've been white-knuckle gripping
Every problem every bill
Been the one who holds it all up
Been the strong one standing still
But my shoulders started buckling
Under weight I wasn't made to hold
The debt the diagnosis
And the price that left me cold
So I'm loosening my hands
From the load I can't control

It was never mine to carry (never mine)
It was never mine to own
So I set the whole thing down:

God can carry it (carry it)
What these hands cannot hold
I set it down off my shoulders
What was breaking up my soul

I was never meant to bear it all alone (never alone)
Carry it (carry it)
Every ounce I couldn't manage
Carry it

There's a burden for the morning
And a worry for the night
There's a list of all the outcomes
I've been trying to make right
But the trying made me tired
And the fixing made me small
'Cause I'm not the God of everything
I only thought I held it all
So I open up my hands now
Every knot I couldn't tie

The mortgage and the diagnosis (carry it)
The child that won't come home (carry it)
The marriage that is hanging
By a thread I hold alone (carry it)
The failure and the future
The regret I can't undo (carry it)
Everything too big to fix now
I am giving up to You

Bigger than the diagnosis (bigger)
Bigger than the debt I owe
Bigger than the fear that wakes me
Everywhere I'm scared to go
The weight that's crushing me tonight
Is a stone in Your right hand
So I breathe the pressure out
And I breathe You in again

God can carry it (carry it)
What these hands cannot hold
I set it down off my shoulders
And my shoulders finally know it

I left it at the altar (left it)
And it's still lying there
My shoulders learned this morning
What it feels like not to carry
