Carry Them Home

Another day, another soul gone home Another night, and I’m feeling alone I look to Heaven, wondering why Some of the ones we love gotta say goodbye I hear Your words inside my mind The souls of the just are safe tonight No pain can reach ‘em, no fear remains They’re in Your hands beyond the grave And I know, I know, this ain’t the end Through Your mercy, we’ll meet again Though my eyes can’t see where they are I know Your love ain’t never far Oh Lord, carry them home Where the streets of Heaven shine In the Father’s house above There’s a place for yours and mine And someday, someday When You call my name I’ll see their faces once again Until we meet again I remember all the days gone by All the laughter, all the tears we cried Sometimes I wish for one more day One more chance to hear what they’d say But You said there’s a place prepared In Your Father’s house, You’ll meet us there You went before to show the way And promised You’d return someday So I pray, I pray, for the souls gone on May Your endless mercy bring them home And while we’re walking through this life Keep our hearts turned toward Your light Oh Lord, carry them home Where the streets of Heaven shine In the Father’s house above There’s a place for yours and mine And someday, someday When You call my name I’ll see their faces once again Until we meet again No more darkness, no more fear Lord, I know that You are near Though the world may think they’re gone In Your hands, their souls live on And when the final trumpet sounds When Your glory comes around Take us where Your love remains Where we’ll never part again Oh Lord, carry them home In Your mercy, let them rest In the mansion You prepared Where the weary souls are blessed And someday, someday When You call my name By Your grace we’ll meet again Until we meet again Until we meet again Lord, keep them in Your hands Until we meet again In Your Father’s house we’ll stand
