In faith and courage

Verse 2:
Upon this journey
From earth to heaven
You’ll have to watch
For the tempter’s snare
Just keep on praying to your redeemer
He will protect you with His loving care

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
There may be times you have a burden
That grows too heavy along the road
If you will let Him the blessed Savior
Will be so glad to bear your heavy load

(Chorus)
