Chorus:
It’ll be a grand eternal life if you don’t weaken
It’ll be a grand eternal life so don’t you faint.
It’ll be a grand eternal life, no more sorrow sin or strife
It’ll be a grand eternal life so keep walkin straight
Verse 1:
I was drowning in deep waters of depression
Felt lower than a snake in a wagon track
Then I read one of Paul’s exhortation
Got a hold of the plow and I’m not looking back
Verse 2:
I was driven by the winds of tribulation
Thought persecution was my middle name
Then I read what he said of prophets gone before me
Made me glad that I had to suffer for His name
Verse 3:
I was drawn in by the cares of carnal living
Troubles of this world had choked me down
Then His word took root and I received salvation.
Won’t quit till I get the fit of a robe and crown.
Verse 4:
Depression, tribulation, carnal living
Are you drowning, driven, drawn in by their power
Read His word be assured of your reward in heaven
Keep striving you may be arriving this very hour.
