verse 1 
          A                                 D 
I want to say to my sisters and my brothers Keep the faith 
         A                                  E 
When the storm flies and the wind blows, Go on at a steady pace

When the battle is fought and the victory's won 
       D 
We can all shout together, we have overcome

We'll talk to the Father and the Son

If we walk together, little children

Our bible reads, Thou shalt not be afraid 
       A                       E 
Of the terror by night, Or the arrow that flies by day 
A                           D 
Nor for the pestilence That walketh in the dark 
A                             D                      A 
Nor for the destruction  That waiteth in the noonday hour

This world is not our home  We are only passing through

Our trail is all made up Way beyond the blue 
       A 
Let us do the very best that we can 
D 
While we're travelin' through this land 
A                      D 
We can all be together Shaking a hand 
D                                A 
When we make it to the promised land 

A 
When we make it to the promised land children
