A Walk With God
by Barbara Philbrook

A walk with God is your latest endeavor,
and the Holy Word assures us it will continue forever.

You learned of the truth and accepted salvation,
because God provided you with a new revelation.

We are incapable of understanding on our own,
the truth must be revealed, we must be shown.

Then we are blessed with the gift of belief,
even that is not of ourselves, oh what a relief.

Then no man can brag "look what I've done",
salvation is a gift from God's own Son.

From that very moment a walk with God is under way,
and even if you ignore Him God is with you to stay.

There's no promise you'll face, no trials,
but that it's God's strength holding you there's no denials.

Never again to stand up on your own,
this is a true fact of which I've been shown.

You may stumble a time or two,
but be assured God is right there to reach out for you.

Sometimes the walk is all uphill,
but when the two of you get there it is such a thrill.

You'll look back at your footsteps one fine day,
and notice there's only one set for part of the way.

Just then life was too much for you,
so the Heavenly Father carried you as He's promised to do.

Surrender each morning to our Father above,
and you will get through the day due to His love.

Soon we'll all be called home to stay,
filled with gratitude to God for walking beside us all the way.
