Pastor John,
This morning I was getting ready for work and was listening to Songs of Rest. One of Darren’s songs, “Carry On” was playing and I had a sadness fill my heart. I have heard this song many times but never have I heard it like I did this morning. I started walking around my kitchen with tears in my eyes, repenting. Repenting for anything I have ever done or may do that might hurt Jesus. Then I began to pray for his children everywhere. Left me with a sobering feeling of thankfulness of what Jesus has done for us and hurt for his children that are missing it. I’ve attached the words below.
Carry On
2006
The world’s in confusion, even when they are using my name it’s in vain
They are all after a false ever after, their all insane
And there’s nothing at all I can say that will change their mind
And there’s nothing at all I can do but to leave them behind
Why do they not want this life that I offer for free, it’s beyond me
I sit in wonder, I daily ponder these things within me
Oh, it’s so hard to find anyone who will carry on
Tell me what is so wrong with me, that they don’t love my son
I seem to be lacking, for some still are packing their things to leave
Perhaps I can think of a new way that’s simpler for them to serve me
But in vain I have searched in my heart for a better way
And again I will have to believe that they don’t want my way
All I am after is the best ever after for you, it’s true
If you’ll take my hand, I’ll help you understand more of me, you’ll see
For I’m not quite as bad as it seems, won’t you carry on
And there’s nothing that’s so wrong with me that you can’t love my son
