Walking Hope

We can always walk with hope in our hearts, because God has assured us that He is with us, leading us onward and upward.

Each step I take, 
My Savior goes before me.
And with His loving hand, 
He leads the way.
And with each breathe,
 I whisper, "I adore Thee."
Oh, what joy, 
To walk with Him each day. 

Each step I take,
 I know that He will guide me;
To higher ground, 
He ever leads me on.
Until some day, 
The last step will be taken.
Each step I take 
Just leads me closer home.

The key is staying in the Word and obeying its teachings. The Holy Spirit will be your guide.  As Isaiah 30:21 says,  "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, 'This is the way, walk in it' ".

Does your life seem empty?
Does it seem like you can't pull through?
The load doesn't get any lighter, 
If you think it's all up to you.
Why don't you lean on Jesus?
He knows you can't tow the line.
He only wants you to follow Him.
Just one little step at a time.

Little by little, one step at a time,
He's changing our hearts 
And renewing our minds,
Teaching us how to be, 
Patient and kind.
Little by little, one step at a time.

As we live a life of walking hope, we will find joy and fulfillment beyond measure.

Walking with the Savior 
On the narrow way.
Doing all that pleases Him 
From day to day.
Reading from the Bible 
Taking time to pray.
That's the way to find happiness.

Trusting in the Lord 
When there's a stormy sky.
Bringing Him the troubles 
That would make us sigh.
Knowing He will keep us, 
Every need supply.
O, That's the way to find happiness.

Ready with a witness 
To His love so true.
Giving out the gospel as He told us to.
Serving faithfully in all we say or do.
That's the way to find happiness.

May you step out in confidence, listening and obeying the Savior, and you will have a life filled with walking hope.

  1. Hi Sandy. Do you know the rest of the lyrics to "Little by Little Each step at a Time?" I sang this song as a child and I know there is more verses... I've tried to search on line but have had no luck. Thanks.
