"Carry Me Down" by Demon Hunter

The Christian group Demon Hunter is not all about "screaming" . The lead singer has some awesome vocals as evidenced in quite a few songs - and one that I really like is called "Carry Me Down". There are two versions - both are great - but the one I really like is the piano verson from the film '45 Days' and is available on Itunes.












"...And if you see me losing faith
In what it means to die
Don’t let me leave before I know what lies behind the stained glass doors
Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
Bleed every care out"

I love those lines - do they speak to you of your sharing with other's about Christ before it's too late ?

"So if you see me losing sight
Of all the death in life
You’ll find the peace in every time I failed to see the death in mine"

Romans 6:5-11 says it so well

" 5 Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. 6 We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. 7 For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. 8 And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. 9 We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. 10 When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. 11 So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus."


A few weeks before my dad passed away, I asked him directly about his faith in Jesus Christ. I looked directly in his eyes when I asked him "Do you know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviou' and dad replied 'Yes' and I could tell, in spite of the brain injury, God was speaking through loud in clear. I had no doubt and that is what carried me through this time.

Take some time to reflect on these thoughts and lyrics and I am sure you will be blessed

"And if you see me losing ground
Don’t be afraid to lie
I know the pain inside my heart can’t break the fear inside of yours
And if you see me losing faith
In what it means to die
Don’t let me leave before I know what lies behind the stained glass doors

Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
Bleed every care out

[Chorus:]
Will you carry me down the aisle that final day
With your tears and cold hands shaking from the weight
When you lower me down beneath that sky of gray
Let the rain fall down and wash away your pain

For every word we never spoke
We have a tear to cry
For every silence like a wall between a better you and I
So if you see me losing sight
Of all the death in life
You’ll find the peace in every time I failed to see the death in mine

Let all the fear inside you drown
Tear out the blade and lay it down
Save sorrow for the souls in doubt
Bleed every care out

[Chorus]

Oh, the blood is rushing out
Oh, I’m better off without
Oh, the walls are closing in
Oh, sing for me again

[Chorus]
(Rain down, oh rain down, no care for the flood)"
