When pioneers came to the west, a banner was unfurled.

Now we who follow them must take the truth to all the world.

Preparing generations for the coming of the Lord

Will test our faith in dif’frent ways from those who’ve gone before.

When I must take one step into the dark,

Lord, bless me with a pioneering heart.

Through storms I’ll trust that heaven’s love, like manner from above

Will flow into my faithful heart and it will be enough.

When strength seems gone, I’ll carry on like pioneers before.

I’ll be sustained through latter days with blessings from His store.

Each day I’ll find the strength to pull my cart.

Lord, bless me with a pioneering heart.

Lord, bless me with a pioneering heart.

A Pioneering Heart
