[G] Little story my oldest daughter who is 18.
She just graduated from high school and then our little one [Am] is eight
[D] _ _ Excuse [Bm] me and Carly the oldest
She [D] [G] called me day before yesterday and [Am] she said mom
I know this is kind [B] of frivolous, but [G] I need you to pray
she said I spent the night with some friends and she said [Am] my um
Can't [D] find my cell phone and she said will you pray I can find it.
Well, [G] God cares about everything.
So, okay
yeah, so I prayed and [B] _ _ _ [G] a
I still can't find my phone and I said well, [C] honey, it's just [Bm] a cell phone, you know, we'll [D] get another one and [G] she said
But mom that's not it.
She said [Bm] it's got all [G] my pictures and it's got my text messages from Kenny
[C] _ And [G] I got [Dm] it _
_ [G] Kenny was a [D] sweet boy.
It's not her boyfriend.
Just a good [G] friend _ and [B] a
couple months ago
[G]
She got a text [C] message from him late one night
She knew that he had always been kind of [D] troubled and battled [Am] depression and
He was 17 [G] and he called her or text her and he said do you think anybody would care if I lived or died?
_ _ She said well Kenny.
[Am] Absolutely.
She [Bm] said we all love you all your friends.
We think you're pretty special
[G] _ she just chatted back and forth with him for quite a while and
[Am] [Bm] Tried to encourage him and _ she thought [G] you know, he'd gone [C] to sleep.
She didn't hear anything else from him
Next morning we were getting on [D] the bus and she [C] walked into my room and she's five foot [G] nine beautiful girl
She got down in my lap was making up the [C] bunks and I was on the floor there
[Bm] She got down in my lap and fell into me and she said mommy
[C] Kenny killed himself last night after we talked
[D] She _ [Am] was devastated and she said [G] mom.
Did I do something wrong?
[C] Was it my fault?
_ _ [G] I?
said oh, baby
[D] _ _
[G] This is way too much for you to carry.
[B] _ I
don't [Bm] know how you believe but _ [G] I
Don't think you can
Hurt yourself physically unless [D] there's something in your mind that breaks
And [G] I said honey with a broken mind.
Nobody could have changed his mind and it's not your fault
But you know what honey, you're 18.
You're too young to bear a [Bm] burden like that.
[G] I
Said won't you give it to me?
I'm a little older a little bit [D] wiser.
I
[Em] Said I'm a little stronger.
I think I could carry it for you.
[G] What you let me take it and you don't worry about it today
I'll worry for you
And I watched her kind of calm [Am] in [Bm] my arms
_ Next day, she'd pick [D] it back up.
[C] Let's see.
Let me take it _ _ [D] and I thought about how our [Am] father must feel
He sees his children [G] that he loves so much
carries such a heavy load
And he says I'm quite a bit older and stronger than you.
I
Went to Calvary and died for you.
I think I [Bm] can carry your burden once you [G] give it to me and rest a little while
_ Like I said, I don't know how you feel but [Bm] I think when sweet Kenny [C] made that crossing I
Think there was a loving Savior that says son
[Dm] You've carried this burden a long time _
[G] Somebody didn't tell you how special you were
So once you come on and let me [C] carry you
_ _ _ [Em] Her red where it said there were 99 and there was one [E] sheep that was lost
