Lyrical Monday

I would like to begin a new post each Monday  entitled "Lyrical Monday" - which will be the lyrics to a song that has touched my heart or has been on my mind. I may or may not post the reason(s) behind the chosen lyrics. I will include the artist and may even post a great video link to go with it. :-)

My first Lyrical Monday post:

Walk By Faith

artist: Jeremy Camp

Would I believe you when you would say

Your hand will guide my every way

Will I receive the words You say

Every moment of every day

[chorus]

Well I will walk by faith

Even when I cannot see

Well because this broken road

Prepares Your will for me

Help me to rid my endless fears

You've been so faithful for all my years

With one breath You make me new

Your grace covers all I do

Yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah, yeah, ya

[chorus]

Well I'm broken- but I still see Your face

Well You've spoken- pouring Your words of grace

[chorus x2]

Well hallelujah, hallelu

(I will walk by faith)

Well hallelujah, hallelu

(I will walk by faith)

I will walk, I will walk, I will walk by faith

I will, I will, I will walk by faith.

This song has been my theme song since the first time I ever heard it. When I had my first phone that could have ringtones, this was my first ringtone downloaded. At one time I had a website that I entitled "Walk By Faith" but I shut it down when MSN began to charge for their websites. 

 I love the scripture this song is based from...2 Corinthians 5:6-8 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord - for we walk by faith, not by sight- we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

If you ever heard Jeremy Camp's testimony then you will know that he wrote this song on his honeymoon after marrying the woman he loved who had ovarian cancer and died just months later.
