A bear hunt?

I often liken life to that famous story - 'we're going on a bear hunt' because, simply, you cant avoid it, you have to go through it. So I thought I'd have a go at adapting the original. I probably could have done better with more time, but it didn't feel like it needed more effort - its just a thought but I'd happily take ideas for better verses......
 
We're going on a faith walk,
We're gonna walk with Jesus
What a beautiful day,
We're not scared.
Oh oh!

Life,
Big, complicated, life.
We can't go over it,
We can't go under it,
We've gotta go through it!
Swishy swashy, swishy swashy.
We're going on a faith walk,
We're gonna walk with Jesus
What a beautiful day,
We're not scared.
Oh oh!
Sorrow,
Deep, dark, sorrow.
We can't go over it,
We can't go under it,
We've gotta go throught it!
Squelch squelch, squelch squelch
We're going on a faith walk,
We're gonna walk with Jesus
What a beautiful day,
We're not scared.
Oh oh!

Loneliness,
Deep, dark loneliness.
We can't go over it,
We can't go under it,
We've gotta go throught it!
Splish splosh, splish splosh.
We're going on a faith walk,
We're gonna walk with Jesus
What a beautiful day,
We're not scared.
Oh oh!

Failure,
Horrible, horrible failure.
We can't go over it,
We can't go under it,
We've gotta go throught it!
Stmble trip, stumble trip.
We're going on a faith walk,
We're gonna walk with Jesus
What a beautiful day,
We're not scared.
Oh oh!

Death,
A scary, dark place.
We can't go over it,
We can't go under it,
We've gotta go throught it!
Tiptoe, tiptoe.
Oh yes – its Heaven
Quick!
Run to Jesus
Through death, tiptoe, tiptoe,
Through the failure stumble trip, stumble trip,
Through the loneliness, splish splosh, splish spolosh,
Through the sorrow,, squelch squelch, squelch squelch,
Through life, swishy swashy, swishy swashy.
Run to Jesus, home at last
