I Will Carry You (Audrey's Song) [*]

Such a beautiful song. It is about the death of a child.

There were photographs I wanted to take Things I wanted to show you Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes Who could love you like this? --- A mother/father is thinking about all the things they expected to do with their child.

People say that I am brave but I'm not Truth is I'm barely hanging on But there's a greater story Written long before me Because He loves you like this --- People look at this parent and talk about how brave he/she is going though this tragic time. She knows better, she is distraught and is just about making it. However, she knows that there is a purpose to the death. There is destiny(a greater story) playing out. The child is apart of Gods plan.

So I will carry you While your heart beats here Long beyond the empty cradle Through the coming years I will carry you All my life And I will praise the One Who's chosen me To carry you --- The parent will carry the memory of her/his child with them beyond having the empty cradle in the house, though their entire life. The parent will praise God for allowing him/her to have the short opportunity with their child and the memory they get to keep.

Such a short time Such a long road All this madness But I know That the silence Has brought me to His voice And He says --- The child's time on earth was short, but the road ahead(to mourn the death) is long. It is going to be a hard time but the parent knows that is has brought him/her to God. God's words are comforting.

I've shown her photographs of time beginning Walked her through the parted seas Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes Who could love her like this? --- While the parent is not able to do everything they dreamed they would do(taking photos, showing the child things, singing lullabies, etc.), God is able. The things that God is able to do with this child are beyond anything that anyone living can imagine. The child can experience photograph's from the beginning of time, have angels sing him/her lullabies, and never experience sadness.

I will carry you While your heart beats here Long beyond the empty cradle Through the coming years I will carry you All your life And I will praise the One Who's chosen Me To carry you --- God tells the parents of the child that He will be there for them. He is their father and will do the same for them as they would do for their own child. He will carry them through the tough times, but long beyond the initial tragedy, all though their life. God will praise the person that has chosen Him to carry them.
