EVERY STEP
VERSE I
LORD, I'M GLAD YOU DIDN'T LET ME LOOK AHEAD
TO SEE THE TRIALS I WOULD HAVE TO FACE.
I WOULD HAVE LIVED MY LIFE CAUGHT UP IN FEAR AND DREAD
AND MISSED A LOT OF JOY ALONG THE WAY.
ON THIS JOURNEY I HAVE HAD MY SHARE OF TEARS,
LONELY DAYS WHEN IT WAS HARD TO UNDERSTAND,
BUT YOU'D WHISPER TO ME GENTLY, "CHILD, I'M HERE,"
AND I KNEW THAT YOU WERE HOLDING TO MY HAND.
CHORUS
EVERY STEP THAT I HAVE TAKEN,
EVERY VALLEY I'VE WALKED THROUGH,
I HAVE SEEN THAT YOUR GRACE CANNOT BE SHAKEN.
EVERY STEP BROUGHT ME CLOSER, LORD, TO YOU.
EVERY STEP BROUGHT ME CLOSER, LORD, TO YOU.
VERSE II
I HAVE KNOWN A PEACE THAT I CANNOT EXPLAIN
WHEN EVERYTHING AROUND ME FELL APART,
FOR YOUR PROMISES BROUGHT HOPE WITHIN MY PAIN
THAT YOU WOULD HEAL THE WOUNDS INSIDE MY HEART.
WHEN MY FEET COULD NOT GO ON ANOTHER MILE
FOR THE ROAD HAD LEFT ME TIRED AND, OH, SO WEAK,
I WOULD HEAR YOU WHISPER, "CHILD, COME REST AWHILE."
THEN YOU'D HOLD ME CLOSE AND WEEP ALONG WITH ME.
