Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Lord, bring me home again

I'm no longer able

To bare the bitter winds

Or the heavy rains


I've long been settled

Lord, without comfort

Just a man on an earthly throne

Headed for the grave


Carry me home

Sweet Jesus, lift me

Until I've flown

The shadow of shame


Your love alone

Lord Jesus mends me

Lift me up

Oh Lord, carry me home


Lord, I've been branded

A loyal sinner

Seems like forever

Since I said Your name


I'm just a pilgrim

Still afraid of dying

But the sea is shinning brightly

With Your grace


Carry me home

Sweet Jesus, lift me

Until I've flown

The shadow of shame


Your love alone

Lord Jesus mends me

Lift me up

Oh Lord, carry me home


Carry me home

Sweet Jesus, lift me

Until I've flown

The shadow of shame


Your love alone

Lord Jesus mends me

Lift me up

Oh Lord, carry me home


Carry me home

Sweet Jesus, lift me

Until I've flown

The shadow of shame


Your love alone

Lord Jesus mends me

Lift me up

Oh Lord, carry me home

Lift me up

Oh Lord, carry me home
