Carry Me High (1996) Lyrics - St. James Rebecca

They laugh 'cause they see 

I live for more than me 

They point their fingers, 

Push me nearer to the flame 

They say "We serve no one" 

"We just live to please ourselves" 

All men serve something... 

CHORUS: 

Father, carry me high, lift me to the sky 

Let me be where You are 

Hold me, ever so closely, 

Let me know your mercy 

Let me be where you are. 

They can laugh, but let them see 

You are the hope in me 

They can point their fingers 

Push me nearer to the flame 

God, You can save me from the fire 

I'm Yours, even if You don't 

Whatever comes I take this vow 

I will never bow... 

CHORUS 

I will never bow... 

Until you find something 

Worth dying for 

You're not really living 

I will never bow 

CHORUS 

Father, carry me high, lift me to the sky 

Let me be where You are 

Father, carry me high, lift me to the sky 

Let me be where You are 

I want to be where You are 

I will never bow.
