Jars Of Clay - Dead Man (Carry Me) Lyrics






January 1, I've got a lot of things on my mind
I'm looking at my body through a new spy satellite
Try to lift a finger, but I don't think I can make the call
So tell me if I move, 'cause I don't feel anything at all

So Carry Me,
I'm just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can't find a heartbeat
Make me breathe,
I want to be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan

I woke up from a dream about an empty funeral
But is was better than the party full of people I don't really know
They've got hearts to break and burn
Dirty hands to feel the earth
There's something in my veins,
But I can't seem to make it work... won't work

So Carry Me,
I'm just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can't find a heartbeat
Make me breathe,
I want to be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan

Can you find a beat inside of me?
Any pulse?
Getting worse?
Any pulse?
Getting worse?
Inside of me, can you find a beat?

Carry Me,
I'm just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can't find a heartbeat
Make me breathe,
I want to be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan [2x]

  1. i.... ....

    wow, I can't believe I've listened to this for years and I never realized the lyrics began "January 1" and not "January, well". At least listening to it on/around New Year's became a habit anyway ;P happy 2020 all

  2. S.... B....

    Happy New Year 2020. I always listen to this song on January 1, because of the lyric.

  3. R.... B....

    you will be my kingdom of priests
    Exodus 19:6
    .
    be a holy priesthood,
    to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God
    through Jesus Christ
    1 Peter 2:5
    .
    you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood
    1 Peter 2:9
    .
    You have made them a kingdom and priests to our God
    Revelation 5:10
    .
    I will raise up for myself a faithful priest,
    who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind.
    And I will build him a sure house,
    and he shall go in and out before my anointed forever.
    1 Samuel 2
    .
    there is neither male and female;
    for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
    Galatians 3:28
    .

    according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
    in the sanctification of the Spirit,
    for obedience to Jesus Christ
    and for sprinkling with his blood:
    Peter 1
    .
    you have come to...
    the sprinkled blood
    Hebrews 12
    .
    To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours
    by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
    2 Peter 1
    .
    His divine power has granted to us all things
    that pertain to life and godliness,
    through the knowledge of him
    who called us to His own glory and excellence,
    by which he has granted to us
    his precious and very great promises,
    so that through them
    you may become partakers of the divine nature,
    having escaped from the corruption that is in the world
    because of sinful desire.
    2 Peter 1
    .
    Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh,
    we regard him thus no longer.
    2 Corinthians 5:16
    .
    Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession
    Hebrews 3
    .
    Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,
    for he who promised is faithful.
    Hebrews 10:23
    .
    a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,
    where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf,
    having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
    Hebrews 6:19
    .
    hold fast to the hope set before us
    Hebrews 6:18
    .
    anchor of the soul
    Hebrews 6:19
    .
