Be very careful to ... walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments
and to cling to him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
(Joshua 22:5)

Words

1. Cling to the Lord ev'ry day of your life,
Through joy and sorrow, in peace and in strife.
Study His Book; it will guide all your ways,
Leading you always to offer Him praise.

Chorus: Cling to the Lord, and stay close by His side;
Trust in His grace, and in His love abide.
Cling to the Lord, in whatever you do;
Hold to His promises, faithful and true.

2. Cling to the Lord; ever cleave to His Word;
Follow the truth, and do not be deterred.
Steadfastly standing and conquering sin,
God will provide strength and courage within.
