The heavy load of the handcarts pulled through the snow
It may not be what you and me know
But there are heavy loads within our souls that we must pull
Lord, give me courage to face my fear
Give me strength to persevere
I need thy steady hand to lead me along
Fill my weak heart with the Pioneer Song
And I will sing all my days of the handcart saints
Songs of praise
For they did more than just endure day by day
They gave up all, trusted God, and walked by faith
Lord, give me courage to face my fear
Give me strength to persevere
I need thy steady hand to lead me along
Fill my weak heart with the Pioneer Song
Sometimes I am tempted to give up
when the road is rough
And there are days when my spirit is so weak
and I struggle to believe
And I feel that I can't make it one more day
But there is something pushing me on
Saying Daughter, be strong
Raise your head
Take one more step
Lift your eyes, look up
It's not over yet
Feel the strength beyond your own
Lifting your soul, pushing you along
Footsteps of faith
Will forever be your song
Raise your head
Take one more step
Lift your eyes, look up
It's not over yet
Feel the strength beyond your own
Lifting your soul, pushing you along
Footsteps of faith
Will forever be your song
