I'd Rather Suffer the Pais and Afflictions
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 7:17 pm
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
I recall some of the words from a gospel track from a station I used to listen to twenty years ago. It goes this way:
I've decided I'm gonna live holy
I've decided I'm gonna live right
I've counted the cost, made up my mind
I'm gonna live for Christ
Now living holy in this world means suffering
But that's all, that's all right
'Cause I'd rather suffer
I'd rather suffer the pains and afflictions
Than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season
I'd rather suffer the pains and afflictions of the righteous
And fades out with repeated refrains of "I'm going all the way [with Jesus]"
Can anyone help identify this track for me?
