Acappella is by far the most popular musical group to have come out of the Churches of Christ in the U.S. They are in large part responsible for inspiring an entire culture of a cappella musical performance in the Church of Christ. Churches of Christ members strive to worship as first century Christians worshiped, and believe one should sing 'making melody in your heart' (Eph. 5:19), instead of using musical instruments in worship. The song "Acappella" from 1986's Conquerors was the first to achieve widespread popularity within the church of Christ (it could almost be called a 'hit') and the 1988 album Sweet Fellowship has become their all-time best seller. AVB's breakout Song in My Soul was released almost concurrently, and the number of like-minded a cappella vocal groups within the church of Christ grew almost exponentially after these two albums. Acappella experienced their first mainstream success outside the church of Christ with 1993's Set Me Free. This album also had a song licensed for use in a Sony Camcorder Super Bowl commercial (with the refrain "They are more precious than gold").

Walking That Line
Acappella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will hold up my head
Proudly march where I am lead
Now that I see the way
I'm walking it day by day
I will not fear this road
Gladly I'll bear this load
And I will not think twice
Because I am walking with Christ

Chorus:
I'm walking that line - never look back
I'm walking that line - I'm on the right track
I'm never alone - He's holding my hand
And everything's fine cause I'm walking that line
To the promised land

Why don't you walk with me
Travel eternity
Staying within His light
Keeping the end in sight
We will not go astray
Together His will obey
And we will win the fight
We are walking with Christ

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Though my feet may often stumble
I will not be down for long
He has called me to commitment
And my resolutions strong
So when satan clouds the vision
And his poison darts are thrown
I will look back at these challenges
Just to see how much I've grown

Repeat Chorus

I'm walking that line - never look back (Don't look back now, keep your eyes on the Lord)
I'm walking that line - on the right track (Stay on track now)
I'm never alone - He's holding my hand (Let Him take ahold of your hand now)
And everything's fine cause I'm walking that line
To the promised land

And everything's fine cause I'm walking that line
I'm walking that line (walking that line)

Overall Meaning

The first verse of the song talks about the singer's determination to follow the path that Christ has shown. The singer has seen the way and now walks the path every day without fear, gladly bearing the load. The singer is certain that they do not need to think twice about their decision because they are walking with Christ. The chorus emphasizes this point by saying that the singer is walking on the right track and is holding Christ's hand, and nothing can go wrong because they are walking that line towards the promised land.


In the second verse, the singer invites others to walk with them on this journey to eternity. They encourage everyone to stay within His light and keep the end in sight so that they will not go astray. The singer believes that if they obey His will together, they will win the fight. The chorus reinforces this message with a call for listeners to stay on the right track and to let Christ take hold of their hands.


The bridge acknowledges that there will be challenges along the way, and sometimes the feet may stumble, but the resolution to follow Christ is strong. Even when Satan clouds the vision and throws poison darts, the singer will look back at these challenges just to see how much they have grown. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the central message that everything will be fine as long as one walks on that line towards the promised land.
