I
FROM A LITTLE CHILD I KNEW THAT I WAS BORN TO SERVE THE LORD.
AND AS I GREW OLDER I TRUSTED IN HIS WORD.
HE HAS STOOD BY ME SO TENDERLY AS YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE.
AND I DON'T BELIEVE HE'LL FAIL ME JUST A FEW STEPS FROM HOME.
CHORUS
NO I DON'T BELIEVE HE'LL FAIL ME JUST A FEW STEPS FROM HOME.
IT'S BEEN A LONG, LONG JOURNEY BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN ALONE.
I CAN SEE THE FIRST DAWNING ON MY HOME COMING MORNING.
NO I DON'T BELIEVE HE'LL FAIL ME JUST A FEW STEPS FROM HOME.
II
SO HERE I STAND AT JOURNEYS END I KNOW IT WON'T BE LONG.
TILL I SHALL VIEW THAT COUNTRY THAT I'VE BEE CALLING HOME.
IF HE FAILS ME HERE WHEN I'M SO NEAR IT ALL WOULD BE IN VAIN.
BUT HE'S SWEETER AND HE'S CLOSER NOW THAN HE HAS EVER BEEN.
NO I DON'T BELIEVE HE'LL FAIL ME JUST A FEW STEPS FROM HOME.
