“The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” ~ Psalm 145:8

 

No matter where I go,

There You are too,

No matter where I travel

Next to me is You:

 

Through the valley,

Upon the mountain height,

Whether my heart is heavy

Or in joyful flight,

 

Above the bridges,

Upon the paths that wind,

Your smile, Your love,

I do always find.

 

Thank You, Lord Jesus,

For traveling with me,

Here on earthly terrain

And into eternity.

 

Gently You lift me

When I stumble or fall;

You direct where to go

With Your loving call.

 

So in this journey

My heart does rejoice;

I delight in every step,

Every note of Your voice.

 

Should I wander,

Lead me back on Your way,

Revive my spirit

With the words You say.

 

In Your sacred footsteps

I choose to follow;

Yes, lead me on this path,

I go where You go.

 

Above the bridges,

Upon the paths that wind,

Your smile, Your love,

Transforms my mind.

 

Through the valley,

Upon the mountain height,

It matters not where,

As long as You are in sight.

 

Yes, no matter where I go,

There You are too;

And I praise You, my Jesus,

That I am next to You.
