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…
