Not By Sight


I walk by faith, and not by sight

When my path is hard to see

I only know God knows the way

And walks along with me

So if I sftumble in the dark,

Or miss a turn somewhere,

It's all ok, because I know

That He is always there


I used to walk in fear and doubt

My way was so unclear

Until I heard Lord Jesus say,

"Don't worry, I'm right here!

Just keep walking, take My hand,

I'll show you where to go

Be patient, and put down that map,

For I AM the Way, you know


You may not get there when you want,

You may think there's delay

But trust in Me, I know the plan,

and have the final say

Remember Who is in control…

And keep Me in your sight

Just walk on, be strong and bold,

I'll guide you through the night"


And so I just reached out and took

The hand He offered me

And as I walk along with God,

I’m confident and FREE!

No maps to read, no miles to count

My steps now sure and light

And even when the days are dark

I know I'm in His sight


Trusting Him has made my walk

More carefree than before  

He's got my back, He's proven that

Each day I learn to trust Him more

So whether my pace is slow or fast

Or I pause to rest a day

I know I'll get there right on time

Because God leads the way
