I have walked with Jesus there
Through the pleasant paths of lifetime
Down the lanes of sorrow, care
In the byways and highways
I have walked with Jesus there.
We have held such sweet communion
As we’ve talked of many things;
We have learned to know each other
As my soul to Him e’er clings.
I could never walk this pathway Stretched from the cradle to the grave
If I did not feel his presence
Did not know his power to save.
In the light he sheds before me
Showing just a step ahead
I can trust and not be fearful
For thus far He’s safely led.
“This is the experience of my life. There is no failing in Jesus”
