Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr.; Anna Piroska Williams Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Ha te azt kérdeznéd tőlem Lyrics: 1 Ha te azt kérdeznéd tőlem, Hogy oly boldog m’ért vagyok, M’ért oly könnyed minden léptem, S görnyedten nem kullogok? Tudd hát, jó Megváltóm így szól: "Én majd hordom gondodat!" És én ezt hiszem, Minden szavát hiszem! Én ezt hiszem, amit mond, elhiszem, Ő szól így, s ezt én készpénznek veszem! Jézus hordja, vállalja gondomat! És én ezt hiszem, Minden szavát hiszem! 2 Nem akarja, hogy mint árvák, Bolyongjunk, úgy céltalan. Ami kell, az Bibliánkban Érthetően írva van. Megígérte: büntetésünk Jézusért elengedi, És én ezt hiszem, Minden szavát hiszem! Én ezt hiszem, amit mond, elhiszem, Ő szól így, s ezt én készpénznek veszem! Jézus törli bűntartozásomat, És én ezt hiszem, Minden szavát hiszem! 3 Jézus azt is megígérte, Velem lesz, és nem hagy el, Benne bízva járom utam, Tudva azt: az Úr közel! Lelke által újjá formál, Szívem Isten lakhelye, És én ezt hiszem, Minden szavát hiszem! Én ezt hiszem, amit mond, elhiszem, Ő szól így, s ezt én készpénznek veszem! Újjá tette elrontott életem, És én ezt hiszem, Minden szavát hiszem! 4 Mostan Atyja országában Nekünk Ő készít helyet, Bármi vár ránk, minden bajban Benne itt békénk lehet! Megígérte, Ő vár majd ránk, Ha innen elköltözünk, És én ezt hiszem, Minden szavát hiszem! Én ezt hiszem, amit mond, elhiszem, Ő szól így, s ezt én készpénznek veszem! Jézus vár rám—ha éltem itt lejár, És én ezt hiszem, Minden szavát hiszem! Used With Tune: [Ha te azt kérdeznéd tőlem]

If you ask me why I’m happy as I journey down life’s road, Why it is I do not carry on the way a heavy load, ’Tis because my Savior tells me that my burden He’ll receive.

Refrain I believe it, every word I believe, I receive it, every word I receive; Jesus tells me my wants He will relieve, And I believe it, every word I believe. 2. We are not allowed to wander thro’ this world without a Guide, For, to keep our feet from straying, His own Word has been applied, And we read here that the sentence of a sinner He’ll reprieve, And I believe it, every word I believe. [Refrain] 3. He informs us for our comfort that thro’ life He’ll be our Friend, That if we will only trust Him, He’ll go with us to the end, That His Spirit will be with us while we do not slight nor grieve, And I believe it, every word I believe. [Refrain] 4. He has told us of a city where the streets are paved with gold, Where the faithful shall be gathered and their Savior’s face behold, He has promised at its portals that our souls He will receive, And I believe it, every word I believe.

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: William James Kirkpatrick Composer of "[If you ask me why I'm happy as I journey down life's road]" in The Cyber Hymnal William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman

Johnson Oatman, Jr.

1856 - 1922 Author of "Every Word I Believe" in The Cyber Hymnal Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church. Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher. For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton, N. J., under the firm name of Johnson Oatman & Son. Since the death of his father, he has for the past fifteen years been in the life insurance business, having charge of the business of one of the great companies in Mt. Holly, N. J., where he resides. He has written over three thousand hymns, and no gospel song book is considered as being complete unless it contains some of his hymns. In 1878 he married Wilhelmina Reid, of Lumberton, N.J. and had three children, Rachel, Miriam, and Percy. Excerpted from Biography of Gospel Song and Hymn Writers by Jacob Henry Hall; Fleming H. Revell, Co. 1914
