lyrics version 1

Let this good life
Be the life I lead
Let my faith grow
Like a mustard seed
And let your love be
All the love I need
To carry me all the way home

This life is hard and the road is long that leads me t'ward the light
Sometimes I trip and stumble in the night
My mind becomes so weary, I just wanna lay down
But I got to keep on going till I reach the higher ground

Let this good life
Be the life I lead
Let my faith grow
Like a mustard seed
And let your love be
All the love I need
To carry me all the way home

I've had my share of trouble as I've tried to walk this path
Sometimes it's been so hard I've had to laugh
I've spent so many years in sorrow, much of my life in pain
But that's just the way it is, you get the sunshine and the rain

Let this good life
Be the life I lead
Let my faith grow
Like a mustard seed
And let your love be
All the love I need
To carry me all the way home

Hoping to learn, every wrong turn is a step t'ward the past
Going astray, losing my way, but I found it at last

Let this good life
Be the life I lead
Let my faith grow
Like a mustard seed
And let your love be
All the love I need
To carry me all the way home

And let this good life
Be the life I lead
Let my faith grow
Like a mustard seed
And let your love be
All the love I need
To carry me all the way home

To carry me all the way
Carry me all the way home

All the way home [x4]

lyrics version 3

Let this good life
Be the life I lead
Let my faith grow
Like a mustard seed
Let his love be
All the love I need
To carry me all the way home

This life is hard and the road is long that leads me t'ward the light
Sometimes I trip and stumble in the night
My mind becomes so weary I just want to lay down
But I’ve got to keep on going until I reach the higher ground

Let this good life
Be the life I lead
Let my faith grow
Like a mustard seed
And let your love be
All the love I need
To carry me all the way home

Some
Sometimes I get so weary on this road
Life gets so bad I start to laugh
My mind becomes so weary
I wanna give up
But I’ve got to keep on looking
For the right path

Let this good life
Be the life I lead
And let my faith grow
Like a mustard seed
Let your love be
All the love I need
To carry me all the way home

Hoping to learn, every wrong turn is a step t'ward the past
Going astray, losing my way, but I found it at last

Let this good life
Be the life we lead
And let our faith grow
Like a mustard seed
And let his love be
All the love we need
To carry us all the way home
To carry us all the way home

lyrics version 4

An' let this good life be the life we lead
Let our faith grow like a mustard seed
And let your love be all the love we need
To carry us all the way home

I've had my share of troubles as I've tried to walk this path
Sometimes it's been so bad I've had to laugh
I spent so many years in sorrow, much of my life in pain
But that's just the way it's been, we get the sunshine with the rain

But let this good life
Be the life I lead
Let my faith grow
Like a mustard seed
Let your love be
All the love I need
To carry me all the way home

Hoping to learn, every wrong turn is a step t'ward the past
Going astray, losing my way, but I found it at last

Let this good life
Be the life that we lead
Let our faith grow and grow
Like a mustard seed
And let your love be all the love we really need
And carry us all the way home
And carry us all the way home
And carry us all the way home

And let us be all that we could be. And help us learn to feel, love, some day feel free. Everything we have let us learn to give it to you. Share it with one another, love one another, choose wisely in all that we do [Spoken]

Charles Norman: "Larry wrote this one too, in its entirety. I just played what he asked me to. Nice song as well. The solo, I was trying to play like Brian May from Queen. For real!"
