I’ve lived a life that most men pray for Fast and free beneath God’s sky Built my world on mountain ridges Where the ground and heaven meet eye to eye Love of a woman, kids and grandbabies Friends who stood the test of time Every scar tells a story Every tear became a rhyme Danger paid the bills for years Climbing where the brave men stand One wrong step, a fall too far Changed the wiring in this man Doctors gave it different names But the pain don’t care what they call it Storms inside my restless head Like thunder trapped inside a wallet Dreams turn dark and nights get loud My world shakes without a sound I laid my truck keys on the table Had to stop driving this town My wife holds tight to shaking hands Protects me from the storm inside She’s the angel God assigned me Walking every step beside Carry me home in faith and grace When my strength begins to fade I ain’t afraid of the road ahead ‘Cause Heaven’s already been made No more pills, no pain, no fear Just the light of Jesus’ face Till that day I’ll sing and pray Lord, carry me home in faith Then the doctor said the word Stage four echo in the room Cancer knocking on my door Like a midnight knock of doom Treatments fought the war inside But the seizures only grew Won the battle with the cancer Still fighting battles no one sees but You I asked God why this road got steeper Why the timing feels so strange I can feel His hands around me Even when I can’t see the plan Blind faith keeps my feet moving Even when the road goes dark I feel Him in the quiet moments Like a fire inside my mind Carry me home in faith and grace When my strength begins to fade I ain’t afraid of the road ahead ‘Cause Heaven’s already been made No more pills, no pain, no fear Just the light of Jesus’ face Till that day I’ll sing and pray Lord, carry me home in faith I don’t know how much time I’ve got But I know where I will go Every sunrise is a blessing Every breath a miracle I thank the Lord for every mile For the love that fills my days For the woman standing by me And the promise of His faith Carry me home in faith and grace When my strength begins to fade I ain’t afraid of the road ahead ‘Cause Heaven’s already been made No more pills, no pain, no fear Just the light of Jesus’ face Till that day I’ll sing and pray Lord, carry me home in faith Carry me home… carry me home… in faith…
