Representative Text

God is the joy and the strength of my life,
God moves all pain, misery, and strife,
God promised to keep me, never to leave me,
God's never, ever come short of his word.
I've got to fast and pray, stay in the narrow way.
I'll keep my life clean everyday.
I want to go with him when he comes back,
I've come too far and I'll never turn back.
God is, God is, God is, God is,
God is my all and all.

God is the joy and the strength of my life,
God moves all pain, misery, and strife,
God promised to keep me, never to leave me,
God's never, ever come short of his word.
I've got to fast and pray, stay in the narrow way.
I'll keep my life clean everyday.
I want to go with him when he comes back,
I've come too far and I'll never turn back.
God is, God is, God is, God is,
God is my all and all.
