I want to be sure I make it, have I done my best, and have I stood the test? Lord have I been faithful? These are questions we need to ask ourselves now, not later when it will too late.

“I want to be sure”

Verse;
When I’ve crossed over old chilly Jordan,
Will you be there to hold my hand?
Will you tell me well done enter in,
Or depart you have lived your life in sin,

Chorus*
Oh, I want to be sure, dear Jesus,
Have I done my best?
And Have I stood the test?
Have I been faithful in running my race?
Thank you Lord Jesus for your saving grace,

Verse;
When we stand before God,
And all the Angels,
When Christ shall judge the quick and the dead,
He’ll reward us for what we have done,
And that’s what the Bible says,
(Repeat chorus*)
