We pledge our lives

Our fortunes

And our sacred honor

For the name of Jesus 

And the kingdom of the skies

He kicked me from the land of Egypt

Plucked me from the world

In sacrifice and mercy

He declared me righteous

Then he made me walk 

In the barren land

Trials and tribulation came

But always with miraculous hands

As a disciple,

I agreed to follow him

Leaving family and lovers

To become utterly despised

He let me glimpse the land of promise

I saw miracles yet again

But it was all part of the test

To see if I would trust him

I trusted him 

And entered in

To expel the giants and sin

Which were about me

And were inside me

My strength wasn’t enough

But I knew his

And if I would only listen

His victory was mine. 

We pledge our lives

Our fortunes

And our sacred honor

For the name of Jesus 

And the kingdom of the skies

It is trust that precedes rest.
