Lyrics
Carry me
Upon the wings of your spirit
Carry me
Jesus Carry me
I am broken and I’m weightless
Open and I’m yielded
Carry me
Jesus Carry me
Call: Who shall ascend the
Response: Who shall ascend the hill
Call: Only he that has
Response: Only he that has clean hands and a pure heart.

Meaning & Inspiration
Carry Me is a prayer of surrender built around dependence on Jesus and the Spirit. The repeated request to be carried pictures a worshipper who does not rely on personal strength. Brokenness, openness, and yieldedness are named as the posture of the speaker, giving the short lyric a clear movement from weakness toward trust in divine help. The image of the Spirit’s wings also suggests protection, renewal, and upward movement.
The closing call and response draws directly from the question in Psalm 24 about who may ascend the hill of the Lord. Its answer, clean hands and a pure heart, places spiritual ascent within a life of integrity rather than self-promotion. Read together, the sections join grace and holiness: the singer asks to be carried while also affirming the character associated with entering God’s presence. The result is a concise worship song centered on humility, consecration, and reliance on Jesus.
