Carry Me

This is a song I wrote some years ago. It wasn’t intended to be country. But my band was playing around one day and came up with this rather Maritime Celtic rhythm and sound. It was rather popular when we first came out with it and was played on a local radio station frequently. I’m singing lead with Ellen singing background. Here are the lyrics:

Carry Me

he tends his flock like a shepherd of love
he gathers lambs in his strong tender arms
he bears them close to his passionate heart
gently and lovingly leads them along

he will protect me from all of my foes
he plants a place where his work safely grows
and i am assured that he reaps what he sows
so i will with fullness his love come to know

chorus:
carry me through the valley and the sea
carry me to the lofty mountain peaks
i long to be with you from now till the end
carry me homeward my shepherding friend

speak to me shepherd till i know your voice
clear from my hearing the challenging noise
of all my distractions and counterfeit joys
for knowing you fully is my perfect choice
