Lyrics
Here are the lyrics to the song "Jesũ Carry Me" by Eunice Njeri:
(Chorus)
Through many waters
Many mountains
Jesũ made a way for me, He gave me victory
Through every valley, every gate
Jesũ made a way for me, He gave me victory
(Verse 1)
Blessed be the Lord, God of David
He taught me how to war, now I know how to fight
With lifted hands, and on my knees, oh
Crying out, clapping hands
I lift a shout, I raise a sound
I pray, I pray, cause victory is sure
(Chorus)
Through many waters
Many mountains
Jesũ made a way for me, He gave me victory
Through every valley, every gate
Jesũ made a way for me, He gave me victory
(Verse 2)
I came running, Jesũ carry me
I came crying, Jesũ wipe my tears
He touched my life and He gave me life
He healed my body and made me whole
(Bridge)
Who are you, oh mountain?
Who are you?
Who are you, oh mountain?
Who are you?
Before my God, who are you?
Oh mountain, who are you?
Before my Jesus, who are you?
Oh mountain, who are you?
It's not by might
It's not by power
It's by the Spirit of the Lord
Who are you, oh mountain?
Who are you?
(Chorus)
Through many waters
Many mountains
Jesũ made a way for me, He gave me victory
Through every valley, every gate
Jesũ made a way for me, He gave me victory

Meaning & Inspiration
Jesu Carry Me is a declaration of victory rooted in dependence on Jesus. Waters, mountains, valleys, and gates represent obstacles through which Christ has made a way. The chorus looks back on deliverance with gratitude, while the verses describe prayer, kneeling, lifted hands, and praise as the singer’s response to hardship.
The song’s language of learning to fight places spiritual confidence in worship and prayer rather than physical strength. Its bridge draws directly on the prophetic challenge to a mountain and the confession that deliverance comes by the Spirit of the Lord. That contrast keeps the focus on divine action instead of personal ability.
Healing, renewed life, and comfort also shape the testimony. The plea for Jesus to carry the distressed person is answered by memories of tears wiped away and wholeness restored. Across its repeated images, the song presents faith as active reliance on Christ and celebrates God’s power over barriers that once appeared immovable.
