Lyrics

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
To the handcart saints songs of praise
For they did more than just endure
Day by day
They gave up all
To trust in God and walk 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
