As I sat by her bed
I held her little hand it’s cold and red
Can she feel me shake
I think this is more than I should have to take
I’ve got a knife in my chest
My mind goes sailing for a scene to find some rest
I’d die to let her live
Be the strength that I need
There’s nothing more I can give
~Chorus~
When the final straw would make me break
Over and over You take up the weight
Then You grab me in Your arms
You carry me over up above and away
You carry me a-way
I watch her lay so still
Her silent cry makes me choke is this Your will
Hold her heart in Your hand
I can’t put on this show like I understand
It’s too hard to see
I got knocked to my knees and my tear drops bleed
But God You’re on Your throne
Be the strength that I need
‘Cause I’m lost and alone
~Chorus~
Up above and away
When the final straw would make me break
Over and over You take up the weight
And then You grab me in Your arms
~Chorus~
You take me away
You carry me a-way
You take me aw-ay
