I started out living for Jesus many years ago

He gave me His love and I gave Him my heart and my soul


Some folks said that I'd never make it


But I guess that they must've been wrong

Cause He's still got control of my life


And I'm still going strong




Don't wanna be a sudden sensation


Don't wanna be a one night stand


You know I'm gonna live forever

You might say I'm a long-term man


Cause I made a commitment


I'm standing on the Lord's side

And I'm not turning back


Cause I'm in it for the long ride




I can't say it's always been easy, but that's okay


Well discipleship costs and I've always been willing to pay


Sometimes it's been a bit of a burden

But He has helped me to carry the load


And we're still traveling side by side


Down that narrow road




Chorus




I've put a lot of miles behind, but there are still some more to come


And when I reach the end the Lord will still be number one
