[Softly Tenderly] [Intro Instrumental] [Verse 1 ] Oh Lord I long to be with you When the road, becomes bitter and long When the sun, doesn't shine, on the meadow for me I'll remember, the words of this song [Chorus Male Choir] Lord, carry me home Lord, carry me home When, life's, journey is over Lord, carry me home [Verse 2] When I wake, in strange, surroundings When all of, my friends have gone on I'll walk, the path, of sorrow, alone And remember, the words of this song [Chorus] Lord, carry me home Lord, carry me home When life's journey is over Lord, carry me home [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Lord, carry me home Lord, carry me home When life's journey is over Lord, carry me home [Verse 3] Now the light, of day, is darkning And I reach for my loved ones again And when I think, that my strength, is all withered and gone I'll remember, the words of this song [Chorus] Lord, carry me home Lord, carry me home When life's journey is over Lord, carry me home [Chorus] Lord, carry me home Lord, carry me home When life's journey is over Lord, carry me home [Outro] Lord, carry me home
