Thread Name: ADD: Surely I Will, Lord (Albert E. Brumley)
Subject: Surely We Will, Lord
Here's the lyric as we'll do it. In worship it begs for an additional verse and I rearranged the existing text a bit as well as changing its emphasis. I'm glad Iris ain't afraid of the Song Police, and I ain't either.

=============================================================

If working and praying has any reward,
Then surely some morning, we'll meet our dear Lord;
Though life may grow weary, we're traveling still,
And if anyone makes it, then surely we will.

REFRAIN:
Surely we will, Lord; surely we will.
If anyone makes it, all the way home,
Then surely we will.
We're bound for Mount Zion,
Up on that hill,
And if anyone makes it, then surely we will.

With faith as our weapon and hope as our stay,
The battle's half over, we're well on the way;
With Jesus as pilot, we'll climb the high hill,
If anyone makes it, then surely we will.

Keep traveling upwards, we've not far to go,
The cost of this journey was paid long ago.
And soon, at the banquet, of love drink our fill—
Yes if anyone makes it, then surely we will.
