Carry Me Home to Thee

Before the sun-lit sky stirs wake
Before the morning dove song does make
Before the ocean waves crash into shore
Your love reaches me.

Before the mountains kiss the stars
Before the moon shines bright afar
Before the black of night creeps in
Your love comforts me.

Carry me home to thee, O Lord
Carry me home to thee. 
Through forests thick and rivers wide
Carry me home to thee.

For your grace is deeper than water's tide.
It knows no bounds, nor place to hide.
Your eyes see all my sin and shame, 
Yet you forgive me, still.

And in the midst of trials sore
When my heart cries out, "No more!"
Your mercy soothes my weary soul
And carries me home, to thee.

So carry me home to thee, O Lord
Carry me home to thee.
Through forests thick and rivers wide
Carry me home to thee.
