Stepping in the Light

Verse 1
Trying to walk in the steps of the Sav­ior, (I Pet. 2:21, I John 2:6)
Trying to fol­low our Sav­ior and king; (John 10:3-4, John 10:27)
Shaping our lives by His bless­èd ex­am­ple, (John 13:15, I Pet. 2:21)
Happy, how hap­py, the songs that we bring.

Chorus
How beau­ti­ful to walk in the steps of the Sav­ior,
Stepping in the light, step­ping in the light, (I John 1:7, Isa. 2:5, John 8:12)
How beau­ti­ful to walk in the steps of the Sav­ior,
Led in paths of light. (Ps. 119:105, Prov. 4:8)

Verse 2
Pressing more close­ly to Him who is lead­ing, (James 4:8, Ps. 63:8)
When we are tempt­ed to turn from the way; (Prov. 4:27)
Trusting the arm that is strong to de­fend us,
Happy, how hap­py, our prais­es each day.

Verse 3
Walking in foot­steps of gen­tle for­bear­ance,
Footsteps of faith­ful­ness, mer­cy, and love, (Col. 3:12-13, Eph. 4:2, Eph. 5:1-2, Gal. 5:22-23)
Looking to Him for the grace free­ly pro­mised, (Heb. 4:16, II Cor. 12:9, James 4:6)
Happy, how hap­py, our jour­ney ab­ove.

Verse 4
Trying to walk in the steps of the Sav­ior, (I Pet. 2:21, I John 2:6)
Upward, still up­ward, we fol­low our guide; (Phil. 3:14)
When we shall see Him, the King in His beau­ty, (Isa. 33:17, I John 3:2, Rev. 22:4, Matt. 24:30, Matt. 26:64, Mark 13:26, Mark 14:62, Rev. 1:7)
Happy, how hap­py, our place at His side.
