Each step of the way

Representative Text

1 My Father who loveth His children,
And giveth them blessings each day;
Who knoweth each child of His kingdom,
Will guide me each step of the way.

Refrain:
Each step, each step;
I know He will guide me alway;
So thankful and grateful,
I’ll be for His guidance each day.

2 He carest for birds in the tree tops,
And watches each flowering spray;
I know He will love me forever,
And guide me each step of the way. [Refrain]

3 He loveth the lambs of His sheep-fold,
And searches if any do stray;
I know He will keep me forever,
And guide me each step of the way. [Refrain]
