Carry Me Jesus
The revival was over, he was the last one to leave;
Walked to his car in the dark, got out his keys.
His old ragged bible he placed on the seat by his side;
Prayed out loud to the Lord and started to drive.
He said Carry me Jesus, carry me home;
Lord I've done my best, now you do the rest, carry me home.
Carry me Jesus, carry me home;
Lord I've kept the Faith, I've finished the race, now carry me home.
Week after week, year after year this went on;
Thousands were saved, many touched, then he was gone.
But a friend of mine told me, he was there by his bed;
He said Mike you should've heard
the last words that old preacher said.
He said Carry me Jesus, carry me home;
Lord I've done my best, now you do the rest, and carry me home.
Carry me Jesus, carry me home;
Lord I've kept the Faith, I've finished my race, now carry me home.
You've carried me oh so many times, my Lord;
I wouldn't have made it on my own.
So when I leave this world behind, my Lord;
Would you carry me; carry me home?
Carry me Jesus, carry me home;
Lord I've done my best, now you do the rest, carry me home.
Carry me Jesus, carry me home;
Lord I've kept the Faith, I've finished my race, now carry me home.
Carry me Jesus, ... carry me home.
Walked to his car in the dark, got out his keys.
His old ragged bible he placed on the seat by his side;
Prayed out loud to the Lord and started to drive.
He said Carry me Jesus, carry me home;
Lord I've done my best, now you do the rest, carry me home.
Carry me Jesus, carry me home;
Lord I've kept the Faith, I've finished the race, now carry me home.
Week after week, year after year this went on;
Thousands were saved, many touched, then he was gone.
But a friend of mine told me, he was there by his bed;
He said Mike you should've heard
the last words that old preacher said.
He said Carry me Jesus, carry me home;
Lord I've done my best, now you do the rest, and carry me home.
Carry me Jesus, carry me home;
Lord I've kept the Faith, I've finished my race, now carry me home.
You've carried me oh so many times, my Lord;
I wouldn't have made it on my own.
So when I leave this world behind, my Lord;
Would you carry me; carry me home?
Carry me Jesus, carry me home;
Lord I've done my best, now you do the rest, carry me home.
Carry me Jesus, carry me home;
Lord I've kept the Faith, I've finished my race, now carry me home.
Carry me Jesus, ... carry me home.
