Chariot
Words and Music by Joel Houston, Benjamin Hastings & Dylan Thomas. Additional Words by Wallace Willis
CHORUS:
Swing low sweet chariot
Lord carry me home
Swing low sweet chariot
I’m coming on home
VERSE 1:
There’s a light made of heaven
And its fire burns in me
To behold all the brilliance
Of Your grace and majesty
Though the road looks like madness
And the dangers loom unknown
I’m coming on home
Lord carry me home
VERSE 2:
Where the night holds no darkness
And Your glory paves those streets
And the depths of Your presence
Makes the ocean seem knee deep
And the skies drape the table
Where Your mercy minds my seat
Till I get home
Lord carry me home
INTERLUDE:
Like You did for Elijah
Like You did on that cross Lord
Even in my darkest hour
I know You’ll never let my heart down
BRIDGE 1:
‘Cause Your love is forever
And Your grace will be my chariot
And all my days I trust in You God
‘Cause Your Word is forever
And Your praise is all I’m living for
And all my days my soul will sing God
Like You did for Elijah
Like You did on that cross
I know Your grace will be
The chariot I need
To carry me home
Lord carry me home
BRIDGE 2:
‘Cause Your love is forever
And Your grace will be my chariot
There’s nothing else
There’s nothing else I need
‘Cause Your Word is forever
And Your praise is all I’m living for
And I’ll never stop singing
Never stop singing
Like You did for Elijah
Like You did on that cross
I know Your grace will be
The chariot I need
To carry me home
Lord carry me home
