Representative Text

1 My heart is so hap­py in Je­sus my Lord,
No clouds can my faith in Him dim.
I’ve start­ed to walk in the straight, nar­row way,
I in­tend to go thro’ with Him.

Refrain:
I in­tend to go thro’, I in­tend to be true
Thro’ sun­shine or thro’ sha­dows dim;
I’ll count all but loss, for Christ and the cross,
I in­tend to go thro’ with Him.

2 I know many others have fallen away,
Ensnared by the pitfalls of sin;
The shipwrecks of faith line the shore all along,
But I mean to go thro’ with Him. [Refrain]

3 I find His yoke easy—His burden is light,
He brightens the shadows so dim;
I lean on His promise and draw from His grace,
I intend to go thro’ with Him. [Refrain]

4 My friends may forsake me and turn from my path,
I’ll seek not their favor to win;
His smile is sufficient and pays me for all,
I intend to go thro’ with Him. [Refrain]
