The Dawn – 2003 Version
(Jacob R. McGowen)
[1st Verse]
There’s a soothing melody
Played upon the waves of the sea
There’s a gentle whisper
Calling out to me
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a voice that calms me
Saying, My child, hold on and be strong
Singing, I will carry you
Carry you to the dawn
[Chorus]
Hold on, my child
Take heart, for I have overcome
Fear not, for I am with you
I’ll carry you to the dawn
[2nd Verse]
There is hope in the harmony
There is perfect peace
When I’m down in the valleys
The Lord lifts me
[Pre-Chorus]
When I’m lost and discouraged
When I can’t find my way
His voice like thunder
Echoes throughout the rain
[Chorus]
Hold on, my child
Take heart, for I have overcome
Fear not, for I am with you
I’ll carry you to the dawn
I’ll carry you to the dawn
[Bridge]
But in the midst of suffering
When I can’t see the sun
I will turn to the only one
Who will lead me home
Who will lead me home
[Outro]
Singing, hold on, my child
Take heart, for I have overcome
Fear not, for I am with you
I’ll carry you to the dawn
Hold on, my child
Take heart, for I have overcome
Fear not, for I am with you
I’ll carry you to the dawn
I’ll carry you to the dawn
I’ll carry you to the dawn
