I may not be perfect
I'm trying just the same
I've made a lasting promise
My life has taken aim
And when it's not easy
To stand by what I've said
I pray for perseverance
And try to look ahead
I'm gonna stand by my
Profession of faith
(My profession of faith)
I'm gonna stand by my
Profession of faith
(My profession of faith)
I'm gonna stand by Jesus
Whatever it takes
Profession of faith
Profession of faith
Don't want to be like water
Tossin' in the wake
I want to be like Jesus
Don't want to make mistakes
But, though I may fall down
Don't ever say I'm thru
His everlasting mercy
Forgives me trough and through
I'm gonna stand by my
Profession of faith
(My profession of faith)
I'm gonna stand by my
Profession of faith
(My profession of faith)
I'm gonna stand by Jesus
Profession of faith
Profession of faith
I'm gonna stand by my
Profession of faith
(My profession of faith)
I'm gonna stand by my
Profession of faith
(My profession of faith)
I'm gonna stand by my
Profession of faith
(My profession of faith)
I'm gonna stand by Jesus
Whatever it takes
Profession of faith
Profession of faith
Profession of faith, ah...
Profession of faith
(I'm gonna stand)
Profession of faith
(Uh-huh)
Profession of faith, ah...
Profession of faith
Profession of faith
Profession of faith
(Whoo-hoo...)
