Chorus: I walk with the King, hallelujah! I walk with the King, praise His Name! No longer I roam, my soul faces home, I walk and I talk with the King. 2 For years in the fetters of sin I was bound, The world could not help me—no comfort I found; But now like the birds and the sunbeams of Spring, I’m free and rejoicing—I walk with the King. [Chorus] 3 O soul near despair in the lowlands of strife, Look up and let Jesus come into your life; The joy of salvation to you He would bring— Come into the sunlight and walk with the King.
