Title and words: It's not promised to the one who pray's the longest ...

Howdy and thanks for your interest. Here's the words I have:

"It's not promised to the one who prays the longest.
Or the one who can say their words the best.
But it's promised to the true and to the faithful.
To the one who overcomes and stands the test."

If any one has the title and the rest of the words I'd sure appreciate the help.
Thanks.

( yours is verse 3 :)

I'M TOO FAR UPON MY JOURNEY Key: F 6/8
As sang by Jessie Enloe, 1960's

1. Oh, sometimes I'm burdened down with gloom and sadness,
Thinking of the ones that's in this world and lost.
This I say within my heart, 'Oh, Blessed Savior,
'Take me through, whatever then shall be the cost.'

Chorus:
I'm too far upon my journey, friends to ever
Think of turning back into this world of sin.
Though I may not be the first one in God's kingdom,
I'll be glad if I can only make it in.

2. It's so dangerous to have your vision covered,
It's dangerous to have a carnal mind.
But if you follow in the footsteps of the Savior,
Heaven then can be yours, the same as mine.

3. It's not always to the one who prays the loudest,
Or to the one who says their words the best.
But the promise for the true, and to the faithful,
And to the one who meets and overcomes the test.
