I’M GOING THROUGH

Lord, I have started to walk 
in the light,
Shining upon me from heaven
so bright;
I bade the world and its follies
adieu,
I’ve started in Jesus and
I’m going through.

CHORUS
I’m going through, yes,
I’m going through,
I’ll pay the price whatever
others do,
I’ll take the way with the Lord’s
despised few,
I’m going through Jesus,
I’m going through.

Oh there are many who start
in the race,
But with the light
refuse to keep pace;
Others accept it because
it is new,
But not very many expect
to go through.

I’d rather walk with Jesus
alone,
Have for a pillow,
like Jacob, a stone;
Living each moment with His
face in view,
Than shrink from my pathway
and fail to go through.

O brother, now will you take up
the cross?
Give up the world and count
it as dross;
Sell all thou hast and give to
the poor’
Then go through with Jesus and
those who endure.
