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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.
