Every Word I Believe

If you ask me why I’m hap­py

As I jour­ney down life’s road

Why it is I do not car­ry

On the way a hea­vy load;

’Tis be­cause my Sav­ior tells me

That my bur­den He’ll re­ceive.

And I be­lieve it

ev­ery word I be­lieve.

I be­lieve it

ev­ery word I be­lieve

I re­ceive it

ev­ery word I re­ceive;

Jesus tells me my wants He will re­lieve

And I be­lieve it

ev­ery word I be­lieve.

We are not al­lowed to wan­der

Thro’ this world with­out a guide

For

to keep our feet from stray­ing

His own Word has been ap­plied;

And we read here that the sen­tence

Of a sin­ner He’ll re­prieve

And I be­lieve it

ev­ery word I be­lieve.

He in­forms us for our com­fort

That thro’ life He’ll be our friend

That if we will on­ly trust Him

He’ll go with us to the end

That His Spir­it will be with us

While we do not slight nor grieve

And I be­lieve it

ev­ery word I be­lieve.

He has told us of a ci­ty

Where the streets are paved with gold

Where the faith­ful shall be ga­thered

And their Sav­ior’s face be­hold;

He has pro­mised at its por­tals

That our souls He will re­ceive

And I be­lieve it

ev­ery word I be­lieve.
