Story of Old Galilee

Representative Text

1 I am walking with Jesus, my soul is at peace,
The tempter can do me no harm;
While I’m walking with Him all the armies of sin,
Cannot cause me the slightest alarm.

Refrain:
With Jesus I’m walking, with Jesus I’m talking,
How sweet is His presence to me;
With me He is dwelling to me He is telling,
The story of old Galilee.

2 I am walking with Jesus, He gives me sweet rest,
My burdens He carries for me;
While I know He is near I’ll not have any fear,
For His glory is all I can see. [Refrain]

3 I am walking with Jesus, I know I am safe,
While closely I keep by His side;
He’s the Saviour divine and His glory shall shine,
Where the darkness can never abide. [Refrain]

4 I am walking with Jesus, He loves me I know,
He keeps me from falling each day;
Since His love stood the test, in Him I ever rest,
He’s the life, he’s the truth and the way. [Refrain]
