I'm Going Through – No. 672
Lord, I have started
To walk in the light,
That shines on my pathway,
So clearly, so bright;
I bade the world
And its follies adieu,
And now with my Savior
I mean to go through.
I'm going through, Jesus,
I'm going through;
I'll pay the price
Whatever others do;
I'll take the way
With the Lord's despised few,
I started with Jesus
And I'm going through.
Many once started
To run in this race
But with our Redeemer
They could not keep pace;
Others accepted
Because it was new,
But not very many
Seem bound to go through.
Let me but follow
My Lord all alone
And have for my pillow,
Like Jacob, a stone;
Rather than vain;
Worldly pleasures pursue,
Than turn from this pathway
And fail to go through.
Come then, my comrades,
And walk in this way
That leads to the kingdom
Of unending day;
Turn from your idols
And join with the few,
Start in with your Savior
And keep going through.
