lyrics versions 1 and 3
I don’t know what the future holds
Don’t know what life will bring
But I ain’t worried ‘bout nothing
‘Cos God’s figured out everything
I got one foot on this earth, one foot t’ward the grave
But I know in whom I have believed and I know I shall be saved
Well you might lose your father, you might lose your mother
You might lose your sister, you might lose your brother
Everyone you know and love has one foot t’ward the grave
But if they know in whom they have believed, they shall be saved
Well this world is going crazy, it’s coming to an end
But do not be afraid, reach out and love your friends
Pray for your enemies, that they shall not be enslaved
If they know in whom you have believed then they shall be saved
Life among the living sometimes seems so strange
‘Cos people say they love you then people change
Wearied by the journey, sad beyond our years
But just remember in our father’s house, there are no tears
Respect your children and show them dignity
Love them when they’re at their worst and kiss them once for me
Show them faith and holiness, teach them to be free
So they’ll know in whom they have believed and they shall be saved
Pray for your leaders, that they’ll swallow their pride
And seek God for direction, let the spirit guide
Pray for all the nation, that it shall not be depraved
That they’ll know in whom you have believed and they shall be saved
There ain’t no condemnation for those who walk in him
Blessed are the peacemakers and those he lives within
Whenever hatred beckons lift your hands in peace
Pray for those in bondage that they shall be released
Doesn’t matter how you’ve fallen, let it pass with the wind
Because love covers a multitude of sins
Get up and keep on walking, resist those things you've craved
For if you walk with him in whom you have believed you shall be saved
You shall be saved
That’s right
Don’t know what life will bring
But I ain’t worried ‘bout nothing
‘Cos God’s figured out everything
I got one foot on this earth, one foot t’ward the grave
But I know in whom I have believed and I know I shall be saved
Well you might lose your father, you might lose your mother
You might lose your sister, you might lose your brother
Everyone you know and love has one foot t’ward the grave
But if they know in whom they have believed, they shall be saved
Well this world is going crazy, it’s coming to an end
But do not be afraid, reach out and love your friends
Pray for your enemies, that they shall not be enslaved
If they know in whom you have believed then they shall be saved
Life among the living sometimes seems so strange
‘Cos people say they love you then people change
Wearied by the journey, sad beyond our years
But just remember in our father’s house, there are no tears
Respect your children and show them dignity
Love them when they’re at their worst and kiss them once for me
Show them faith and holiness, teach them to be free
So they’ll know in whom they have believed and they shall be saved
Pray for your leaders, that they’ll swallow their pride
And seek God for direction, let the spirit guide
Pray for all the nation, that it shall not be depraved
That they’ll know in whom you have believed and they shall be saved
There ain’t no condemnation for those who walk in him
Blessed are the peacemakers and those he lives within
Whenever hatred beckons lift your hands in peace
Pray for those in bondage that they shall be released
Doesn’t matter how you’ve fallen, let it pass with the wind
Because love covers a multitude of sins
Get up and keep on walking, resist those things you've craved
For if you walk with him in whom you have believed you shall be saved
You shall be saved
That’s right
