[Verse 1]
Hey, God was carrying you
You were determined
Not to leave me where I was
You were intentional
About my victory
Wanted me to know what it means
To not have to settle
And when they asked me how
Oh, I just say

[Chorus]
You carried me
Oh, I know you
You carried me
That's my testimony
You carried me
Oh, I am a witness that
You carried me
Yeah

[Verse 2]
You were determined
To give me an expected end
For me shame, lord
You gave me honor
Wanted me it know what is means
To live in my promise
And when they asked me how
Oh, I just say
[Chorus]
You carried me
You did it, you did it, oh lord, lord, lord
You carried me
Oh, you carried me
You carried me
I'll tell the world, I'll tell the world, you carried me
You carried me, oh, yeah
And you did not drop me
You did not drop me
But you walked me through the valley, ay
Carried me over the mountain
Brought me through my circumstance

[Post-Chorus]
You didn't let me go, no, no, no
You didn't let me go, no, no, no

[Chorus]
You carried me, ay, lord, I'm so grateful that
You carried me
Yes, oh, and you did not drop me
You did not drop me, hey
You walked me through the valley, hey
You carried me over the mountain
Brought me through my circumstance
[Post-Chorus]
You didn't let me go, no, no, no
You didn't let me go, no, no, no
You didn't let me go, no, no, no

[Chorus]
You carried me
Hey, you carried me
(You carried me) I'm ready to work it, y'all
You carried me (You carried me)
When I think about how hot the fire got
You still carried me (You carried me)
When I think about how high the mountain was
You carried me (You carried me)
When I think about how low the valley was
You carried me (You carried me)
Ooh, yeah, you carried me
Lord, I don't remember one time that you ever left me
You carried me (You carried me)
As I take a moment to reflect
All I can remember is you carrying me (You carried me)
Through sickness, through tears, through pain
Through disappointments, through failures (You carried me)
All my defeats, lord, and then I heard the voice of God say

[Bridge]
I couldn't leave you because I had plans for you
I couldn't leave you because I had plans for you, say
(I couldn't leave you because I had plans for you)
(I couldn't leave you because I had plans for you)
I couldn't leave you (I couldn't leave you)
You better know that (because I had plans for you)
I couldn't leave you (I couldn't leave you)
I couldn't leave you (I couldn't leave you)
I couldn't leave you (I couldn't leave you)
I never left you (I have plans)
I have plans (I have plans)
To prosper you (I have plans)
To restore you (I have plans)
To redeem you (I have plans)
[Outro]
I carried you (yeah, yeah)
Oh
I carried you
You got too much destiny waiting on you
I had to carry you
Too much anointing, too many levels, dimensions
I had to carry you
So, father, when they ask me how I just say
You carried me
