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

This is a demo, Still needs adjustments, and the vocals.

 

Calling from the mountains 

The voice of our God 

Beckoning, pulling us on 

Taking nothing with us but faith in his power 

Step after step, hour by hour 

We are His people 

And He is our God 

And we will be faithful 

No matter the cost 

He is our shepherd in the wilderness 

He is our light in the dark 

He sends his angels to comfort us 

With pureness of heart 

We are his saints 

Like the Rocky Mountains 

Our trust is unmoved 

Strong & Devoted to you  (our love we will prove?) 

Like the winding river 

We follow His course 

Constantly true to our Lord 

We are His people 

And He is our God 

And we will be faithful 

No matter the cost 

He is our shepherd in the wilderness 

He is our light in the dark 

He sends his angels to comfort us 

With pureness of heart 

We are his saints 

On our hardest days 

When persecutions rage 

When we are mocked for what we believe 

As we live this life of sacrifice  

As we have faith in what we can’t see 

When our spirits feel broken and our hearts are faint 

We remember, we remember  

We are His Saints  

The pioneer spirit flows through our veins 

As we remember our ancestors faith 

We will tell their stories 

As we write our own 

Pushing forward where God wants us to go
