Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I’ve been staring at this ceiling Counting cracks like all my sins Every prayer I tried to whisper Got lost somewhere in the wind I’ve been burned by my own choices Smoke still clinging to my clothes If there’s a light out in that distance Lord, I’m ready to come home [Chorus] Jesus, carry me home Send an angel to collect my soul I’m tired and I’m worn I’ve done my time in hell below Come for me now Wrap your arms around me when I’m low Take my pain away Jesus, carry me home [Verse 2] I see faces I’ve forgiven And some I never got to meet Empty chair at mama’s table Boots no longer by my feet I have stumbled through the fire I have crawled through every storm If Your grace can reach this far down Let it lift me, Lord [Chorus] Jesus, carry me home Send an angel to collect my soul I’m tired and I’m worn I’ve done my time in hell below Come for me now Wrap your arms around me when I’m low Take my pain away Jesus, carry me home [Bridge] If there’s a gate and it’s golden Or just Your hand in the dark I don’t need a mansion Just a place in Your heart If this is my last breath Let it rise like a hymn As my eyes are slowly closing Let me fall into You again [Chorus] Jesus, carry me home Send an angel to collect my soul I’m tired and I’m worn I’ve done my time in hell below Come for me now Wrap your arms around me when I let go Take my pain away Jesus, carry me home Take my pain away Jesus, carry me home
