Christ in Song 350
WALKING WITH GOD
Words: James RoweMusic: James Rowe
1Walking with God, in the light of His word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
2Walking with God, how it cheers up the road,
As we travel each day to our home!
With our hand in His own, we're never alone,
And He never will leave us to roam.
