Take My Body Home

Take My Body Home draws on the spirit of traditional blues and Scripture-inspired themes of readiness, mercy, and rest. Minimal instrumentation, a raw vocal, and a watchful nighttime scene set the tone for a song about surrender and peace at the end of the road. This is not a retelling of a specific parable, but a meditation shaped by biblical imagery and the deep emotional language of the blues.

Lyrics

(Chorus)
In my time of dying, I don’t want nobody to mourn All I want for you to do is take my body home Well, well, well, so I can die easy Well, well, well, so I can die easy Jesus, make up my dying bed

(Verse 1)
Meet me, Jesus, meet me, meet me in the middle of the air If these wings should fail me, Lord, won’t you provide me with another pair? Well, well, well, so I can die easy Well, well, well, so I can die easy Jesus, make up my dying bed

(Verse 2)
St. John, the golden writer, sitting at the Golden Gate He’s writing down the names of the ones who are going to be late Well, well, well, so I can die easy Well, well, well, so I can die easy Jesus, make up my dying bed

(Verse 3)
Ever since I’ve been a Christian, I’ve been running for the prize I’ve been running for the kingdom, where the sun will never rise Well, well, well, so I can die easy Well, well, well, so I can die easy Jesus, make up my dying bed
