I Love to Walk With Jesus (Canaan Melodies #56)

This catchy song walks us from the dusty roads where Jesus gathered the publicans, to the gates of Jericho where a blind man received his sight, all the way to Calvary's brow and on into the land of endless day. It's simple, singable, and uplifting - a reminder that following Jesus isn't a moment, but a daily walk.

LYRICS:

1 Oh, I love to walk with Jesus, like the publicans of old,
When He gathered them about Him, and the blessed tidings told;
How He came to bring deliv'rance, to the captives in distress,
Take away our ev'ry burden, giving perfect peace and rest.

Refrain:
I will follow where He leads me, I will pasture where He feeds me,
I will follow all the way, Lord, I will follow Jesus ev'ry day.

2 Oh, I love to walk with Jesus, like the man of long ago,
Who had tarried by the wayside, near the gates of Jericho;
Jesus heard his cry for mercy, gave him back his sight that day,
And immediately he followed, Jesus all along the way.

3 Oh, I love to walk with Jesus, all the way to Calv'ry's brow,
Gaze upon that scene of suff'ring, while my tears of sorrow flow;
There He tells me how He loves me, takes my ev'ry sin away,
So I follow Him so gladly, lead me anywhere He may.

4 Oh, sometime I'll walk with Jesus, in the land of endless day,
When our journey here is over, and we've reached our home to stay;
Then I'll walk with Him forever, sing His praises o'er and o'er,
Laugh and shout, and ever tell Him, that I love Him more and more.
