The song’s touching message really seems like the perfect way to pay homage.
In other ways, the song is about her faith in God.
Yearwood explained toParadethat her and Brooks’marriagewas years in the making.

The couple met each other in the ’80s, 16 years before they got married.
Yearwood toldTaste of Country, “My husband and I talk a lot about being each other’s person.
And the same for him.”

The singer toldJubilee Coastthat she attends church every Sunday and has ever since she was a little kid.
So, it’s no surprise that “I’ll Carry You Home” carries some religious significance.
As she explained toTaste of Country, " …

I honestly every morning … get up in my day and I turn everything over to God.
I couldn’t go through my day if I didn’t believe someone else had me.
Somebody else had a better plan than me.
That song for me is the, ‘I got you.'"
