Christ's joyful song will always be my song;
His living Word will always be my life's message;
His words of life will always be my foundation—
He alone is the support of my life.
I will follow Him,
I will walk in His footsteps
Throughout my journey through life.
When the heat of this wilderness becomes unbearable,
I will find rest beneath His wings.
2
Christ's divine will will always be
The desire of my life.
Each day I will take up my cross
And fulfill the Father's will.
3
I will gladly bear the reproach of Christ;
It will always be my honor and my treasure.
I will count it as my eternal riches,
And through it I will receive everlasting glory.
4
I will rest in the voice of Christ;
His voice will always guide my path.
I will walk in His ways every day
Until I reach the shores of glory.
5
I will one day see the face of Christ.
Even while I am in the midst
Of this fierce and troubled sea,
When I look toward eternity in the distance,
That glorious face of Jesus
Will be my source of hope.
