Isn't it taking a leap of joy
When I leap in faith after Him?
Isn't it a blessing to know
He saved me from my sin?

What joy awaits in heaven!
Yet I must live here day by day.
Following Him, telling of Him,
Showing others the path, the Way.

Singing of Him, telling the story
That is true and never grows old.
Living my life with Him in control,
Someday to walk the streets of gold!

It is no toil to leap with joy,
Witnessing as I walk on this sod.
And, when I'm called to eternal rest,
I'll walk hand in Hand with God!
