Story Behind the Song
This is my husbands favorite song. It has a message to live by.
Lyrics
“I know you’re a man now, Son, but there’s something I want to say to you, so please listen.”
Yield not to temptation,
for yielding is sin
Each victory will help you
Some other to win.
Fight manfully onward,
Dark passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus,
He will carry you through.
Shun evil companions,
Bad language disdain;
God’s name hold in rev’rence,
Nor take it in vain.
Be thoughtful and earnest,
Kindhearted and true;
Look ever to Jesus,
He will carry you through.
CHORUS:
Ask the Savior to help you,
Comfort, strengthen and keep you;
Jesus is willing to aid you.
Jesus will carry you through.
To him that overcometh,
Our God gives a crown;
Through faith we will conquer,
Though often cast down.
He who is our Savior,
Our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus,
He will carry you through.
(Repeat CHORUS 3xs)
