[Title: Carry the Word]

[Short Intro — spoken, deep male, acoustic guitar underneath]
Inspired by President Donald Trump’s
Reformation Day message,
October thirty-first, twenty twenty-six.
This is “Carry the Word.”

[Verse 1 — sung, intimate storytelling]
An open Bible on a kitchen chair,
Mama’s hands held still in prayer.
Morning light across that page,
Mercy reaching age to age.
Before I knew what freedom meant,
I heard her pray for hearts to mend.
She said, “Son, whatever comes,
Grace will meet you where you’re from.”

[Chorus — male lead, soft female harmony]
Carry the Word, carry the light,
Love your neighbor through the night.
Not by the good these hands have done,
Saved by grace through Christ the Son.
Let freedom ring, let mercy lead,
Be the helping hand somebody needs.
With humble hearts and voices heard,
Carry the light, carry the Word.

[Verse 2 — male lead, gentle instrumental lift]
Tyndale dreamed those words could reach
Working hands and common speech.
Ink and paper, hope made plain,
Faith that walked through fear and pain.
Now down our roads, behind church doors,
There’s room to feed and help one more.
Faith ain’t only what we say;
It’s love that gives itself away.

[Bridge — first two lines spoken, then sung]
A nation’s strength ain’t pride alone.
It’s how we treat the ones unknown.
Lord, keep our hearts from turning cold,
Make us faithful, make us bold.
When we differ, help us see
A neighbor, not an enemy.
Let the freedom we hold dear
Make room for love to flourish here.

[Final Chorus — fuller, restrained female harmony]
Carry the Word, carry the light,
Love your neighbor through the night.
Not by the good these hands have done,
Saved by grace through Christ the Son.
Let freedom ring, let mercy lead,
Be the helping hand somebody needs.
With humble hearts and voices heard,
Carry the light, carry the Word.

[Outro — quiet male lead, female harmony answers]
From the kitchen to the steeple,
Put Your love inside Your people.
One more prayer, one kindness more…
Carry the Word beyond these doors.
