Carry Me - Jars of Clay



January One, I got a lot of things on my mind
I'm looking at my body through a new spy satellite
I try to lift a finger but I don't think I can make a call
So tell me if I move 'cause I don't feel anything at all

So carry me
I'm just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can't find a heartbeat
Make me breathe
I wanna be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan

I woke up from a dream about an empty funeral
But it's better than a party full of people I don't really know
Well, they've got hearts to break and burn, dirty hands to feel the earth
There's something in my veins but I can't seem to make it work
Won't work

So carry me
I'm just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can't find a heartbeat
Make me breathe
I wanna be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan

Can you find a beat?
Inside of me?
Any pulse, getting worse
Any pulse, getting worse
Inside of me
In front of me

Carry me
I'm just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can't find a heartbeat
Make me breathe
I wanna be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan

Carry me
I'm just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can't find a heartbeat
Make me breathe
I wanna be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan

When Love Came Down

When Love Came Down
Lyrics and Music by Jonathan Chu

[Verse]
Have you found yourself in pain?
Have you found yourself in confusion?
Have you found yourself in sorrow?
Have you found yourself in despair?

[Pre-Chorus]
When all hope is gone
When all trust is torn
When all dims around
You find yourself so down
When all love is lost
Seems like all is falling down
Take heart, don't worry
Hope is just one step away

[Chorus]
When Love came down
Lost hope turned found
Strength regained
Troubles disappear away
When Christ came down
The path to life is now found
And the reason for coming down
Is you
When Love came down

[Bridge]
The hollow void once filled with sorrow
Now overflow with peace and joy
(repeat)
When love came down

Bid You Goodbye

Bid You Goodbye
Lyrics and Music by Jonathan Chu

[Verse]
Sweet dreams my love
Fly like a dove
Away from me

I'll send you away
I'll put you away
To breathe again
So I could breathe again

[Chorus]
Memories
I'll bid you goodbye
You know I have tried
To love you always
Goodbye, my love
I'll have you no more
No more remorse
Goodbye

[Bridge]
Pain is what you gave me
And now I'll set myself free
I'll set myself free
(repeat)

Candle In The Dark

Candle In The Dark
Lyrics and Music by Jonathan Chu

[Verse 1]
Sometimes it seems as if
All is falling down
The hope that you've just found
Seems to crush about
The little light of joy of hope
Now all blacks out
Silence, something's gonna turn about

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So, turn around
Look about
Behind every dark cloud
Is a silver lining
These storms won't wear you out

[Chorus]
The candle in the dark
There is always hope in the midst of troubles
Within the storms, there will be a spark
To swerve you to what you think impossible

[Verse 2]
Nothing will be nothing
Unless you insist it's something, it's something
The past will be bygones
Unless you say it's happening, it's happening now

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me would you talk with me
And march out of the darkness together
Will you? Can you?
What is your answer?

[Bridge]
What are you waiting for ?
Hold my hand, we'll soar.

Entangled

Entangled
Lyrics and Music by Jonathan Chu

[Verse 1]
There was a storm
Locked up in the cold
Was a girl who found entanglement
Though she tried to cry for help
None came

[Verse 2]
Invisible ropes
Tearing her skin
Darkness looming
Pulling her in
Escape was impossible
Redemption unreachable

[Chorus]
Entangled
There's no way out
No matter how loud you shout
There's still no way out
Entangled
There is no way to free yourself
No matter how much you struggle
There's no way to free yourself
Entangled

[Bridge]
Tears - no more
Faith - no more
Hope - no more
Entangled
