I will love Him
I will serve Him
I will glorify His name  (backing singers sing 4 times total)
 
He came up East out of Galilee
And disappeared like that he taught

He came down unto his own
His own knew Him not
But as for me,

I will love Him
I will serve Him
I will glorify His name  (backing singers repeat  3 more times)

He said when the fig tree was blooming
He would be at the gate
He was talkin' 'bout the state of Israel
From nineteen forty-eight
And the time is near, and...

I will love Him
I will serve Him
I will glorify His name  (backing singers repeat  3 more times)

When He was come down and conceived here
His mother didn't know what she carried
Took an angel of the lord
To tell her what she doth carry
Carry for all mankind, that

I will love Him
I will serve Him
I will glorify His name  (backing singers repeat  3 more times)

Anybody say it was gonna be easy?
Nobody said... but you couldn't complain
The god of this world tried to drive me crazy

Even Peter denied Him
Standin' right beside Him
Took Him out and falsely tried Him
Eventually crucified Him
Who am I to say I wouldn't do the same?

It was He who repaired the roof
And tilled against the grain
When Herod found out that He was born
He had every boy child slain
Hey, let's all pray

I will love Him
I will serve Him
I will glorify His name  (backing singers repeat  4 more times)

I will love Him
I will serve Him
I will glorify His name

(spoken to audience): Does anybody here know the words to that?

I will love Him
I will serve Him
I will glorify His name

I will love Him
I will serve Him
(spoken to audience): Alright, thank you
I will glorify His name

I will love Him
I will serve Him
I will glorify His name  (backing singers repeat  2 more times)
