A Little Reminder

Do you ever find yourself humming as you go about your daily tasks?  It is a common occurrence for me.  Sometimes it is intentional, but other times, I don't even realize I am doing it.  Tonight, as I've been sitting here cruising Facebook, Twitter, and checking up on favorite blogs, I've been humming away quietly.  When I realized I was doing it, I stopped to consider the song that was evidently stuck in my head.  Strangely, it is a song that I don't even remember hearing or singing recently.  It's an old church hymn that has always been a favorite of mine.  See if you're familiar with it as well.  (I have typed out the words from memory, so I hope thy are correct!)

Each Step I Take

Each step I take, my Savior goes before me.
And with His loving hand, He leads the way.
And with each breath, I whisper, "I adore thee."
Oh what joy to walk with Him each day.

Each step I take,
I know that He will guide me.
To higher ground,
He ever leads me on.
Until someday, the last step will be taken,
Each step I take,
Just leads me closer home.

At times I feel my faith begin to waiver,
when up ahead I see a chasm wide.
It's then I turn, and look up to my Savior,
I am strong when He is by my side.


Each step I take,
I know that He will guide me.
To higher ground,
He ever leads me on.
Until someday, the last step will be taken,
Each step I take,
Just leads me closer home.

I trust in God,
No matter, come what may.
For life eternal is in His hands.
He holds the key that opens up the way,
that will lead me to the promised land.

Each step I take,
I know that He will guide me.
To higher ground,
He ever leads me on.
Until someday, the last step will be taken,
Each step I take,
Just leads me closer home.

I've been a little stressed for the past few days in anticipation of getting started back to school after my children have been sick for the past few weeks.  I want to make some changes and really get off to a good start.  So I found it interesting that this was the song that was running through my head this evening.  It is an excellent reminder that God is in control of everything, even our little homeschool.  It is my joy to walk with Him each day, because I do know that He is guiding each step that I take!  

May God bless you in your walk this week,

Now you are taking me down memory lane, my mom sang this one as well when I was a little girl. I love the richness of our old hymns, what a precious one, thank you for sharing this.
