(Begin with a country orchestra flare on the intro) (Verse 1): I’ve made a commitment, I’ve answered the call I’ve given myself to Jesus, mind, body, my soul and all Though the road has not been easy, His burden has been.... And I’m sure that He’s borne the brunt, of the troubles I’ve seen…. Chorus: Yes, I’m made a commitment, and whether I die by fire or by sword Or live and see, the coming of the Lord I won’t dishonor My Maker, my husband The Lord of host I promised I will go down swing, right here, At my sacred post… (Verse 2) Now, I know you might be thinking, girl you’re just, all talk Yes, you’ve heard me make a mighty big boast…. But I do so by the power of Him who walked on the water, and bids, come my child walk..... So I’ll stand here gladly, whether it’s sunny or or whether it’s rain For God hasn’t said it would be easy, or that I won’t suffer pain (bridge): But he’s standing right beside me, bearing my reproach And what kind of good Christian girl would i be, If I run and hide, when I see ole Satan’s approach (Chorus 2) I won’t dishonor My Maker, my husband The Lord of host I promised I will go down swing, right here, At my sacred post… (Outro) But if I should die, right before Jesus comes to get me On the morning of grand rising, I know where I will be And when we get to heaven to begin the thousand years Right after sweet Jesus hugs me and dries away my tears (spoken word) (guitar playing) I’ll say, Lord if it’s aright with You, and The Father and The Holy Ghost, I’ll like to resume my duties and stand here…..(singing to fade three times) at my post……
