[Verse 1] Sunrise peeking through the pinewood trees, Boots on the ground, dirt on my knees. Hard work’s the way that I was raised, Earn my keep and give Him praise. I got a good truck, a strong back, Living simple, ain’t nothing I lack. But if my brother’s down, I ain’t walking on by, ‘Cause the Lord says love, and I live by that guide. [Chorus] I’ll carry my brother, I’ll lift him high, Stand in the gap when the river runs dry. We all need a hand, we all need grace, So I’ll bear that weight, I’ll run that race. [Verse 2] Bonfire burning on a Saturday night, Friends by my side, everything feels right. But I see a man with a struggle inside, So I pull up a chair, let him know he’s alright. Ain’t about riches, ain't about gold, It’s about the love that never gets old. Ain’t gonna turn my back, nah, not today, I got 1 John 3:17 to say! [Chorus] I’ll carry my brother, I’ll lift him high, Stand in the gap when the river runs dry. We all need a hand, we all need grace, So I’ll bear that weight, I’ll run that race. [Bridge] Bear that burden, stand real tall, Pick ‘em up when they start to fall. Galatians say it, so I’ll walk that road, Ain’t leaving nobody out in the cold. [Verse 3] Mama always said, “Son, don’t forget, Real wealth ain’t found in a paycheck.” It’s found in the hearts of the ones you love, And the strength that comes from the Lord above. So I’ll be the light, I’ll be the proof, Hands in the dirt but my soul’s in the truth. Hebrews 13, yeah, let love last, Ain’t no storm gonna shake my path. [Chorus] I’ll carry my brother, I’ll lift him high, Stand in the gap when the river runs dry. We all need a hand, we all need grace, So I’ll bear that weight, I’ll run that race. [Outro] So if you’re lost, if you’re hurt, if you’re feeling alone, Come sit right here, you can call this home. We take care of our own ‘round these backwoods ways, And we’ll do it all in Jesus’ name.
