Words & Music: Haldor Lillenas, 1919

I remember when the Lord spoke to my soul,
I could feel the heavy burden from me roll
When He spoke the gracious words, "Wilt thou be whole?"
Then I settled the question forever.

Refrain

I have settled the question, hallelujah!
I will never turn back from the narrow way.
I am going through with Jesus, hallelujah!
Till I reach the gates of glory some sweet day.

I no longer walk the ways of sinfulness,
But I daily tread the paths of righteousness
Since the day the Lord has come my life to bless
I have settled the question forever.

Refrain

I will choose the holy joys that always last,
And reject sin's pleasures that will soon be past,
To the treasures of true worth I'm holding fast,
I have settled the question forever.

Refrain

Others may deny the Lord and live in sin,
But the race that I have entered I must win,
Through the pearly gates I mean to enter in,
I have settled the question forever.
