Carry Me
Hillsong · For This Cause [2002]
Surround me with your love
I walk with you, I do not fear
In this place
Dreams are made
In this place
Where you are
Carry me here in your arms of love
Draw me close to you
I wanna be where you are
You carry me, you are my strength
I've learned to trust in you
And once again I'm reaching out
In this place
Dreams are made
In this place
Where you are
Carry me here in your arms of love
Draw me close to you
I wanna be where you are
Carry me here in your arms of love
Draw me close to you
I wanna be where you are
Carry me here in your arms of love
Draw me close to you
I wanna be where you are
Carry me here in your arms of love
Draw me close to you
I wanna be where you are
Carry me here in your arms of love
Draw me close to you
I wanna be where you are
Carry Me
Hillsong's "Carry Me" serves as a cornerstone of their early worship catalog, released on the 2002 album "For This Cause." As a defining track from the church's formative years, the song exemplifies the genre's shift toward emotive, acoustic-driven praise that prioritized personal testimony and communal connection. The recording captures the raw, unpolished energy characteristic of Hillsong's initial breakthrough, blending traditional hymnody with emerging contemporary worship sensibilities. It remains a staple in their discography, reflecting the group's mission to create accessible, spiritually resonant music that has influenced countless subsequent worship recordings. The track stands as a testament to the era's focus on intimate, heartfelt expression within the broader landscape of Christian music.
