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
