The song is derived from the hymn "Fully Saved Today" by William J. Henry (words) and Clarence E. Hunter (music), published in 1911. It is in call-and-response format.[2] The subject-matter is said to be Psalm 96:2, "Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day".[3][2] The words of the verses of hymn and song differ, but the refrains are similar. This is the refrain of the hymn:[4]

I am fully saved today,
I am in the narrow way;
And no evil can betide,
For I’m walking by my Savior’s side.

gollark: Also OC has stupid microcrafting.
gollark: If your code expects that to work it may sometimes *not*, e.g. if power failure happens, and the user will probably not be there to receive them.
gollark: I don't think remote-waking computers to display notifications makes much sense.
