Walking Beside Me Lyrics

I remember all those many years ago

As I walked along those lonely country roads

Sometimes it'd be long after dark

Trying to get back home

And I never liked to walk in the dark alone

No I never liked to walk in the dark alone

And I remember how I'd jump at the nightly sounds

I'd turn expecting to see someone else around

It sounded just like a footstep

Echo as mine hit the ground

Then I could feel that someone

Was walking beside of me

So I quickened my pace

Trying to hurry to get back home

Now that I'm older I realize

I was never on that road alone

It seemed that Jesus was always there

Walking beside me

And though I was afraid

He calmed the fear that was deep inside me

And somehow I knew I'd be okay

Just by his presence he made me feel safe

Jesus made my fear of the night

Just seem to fade away

There was a time long ago

That I didn't know

Just where life was taking me too

All the anger I felt from the pain in my heart

Made me lash out at the one who was true

But as I walked on the shore

The quiet sound of the waves

Calmed the anger so that I might see

That there's always someone close beside us

I know that Jesus walked beside of me

Jesus walked beside of me
