Beyond 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walk the path that thou hast shown,
Pause to help and lift another,
Finding strength beyond my own.
Savior, may I learn to love thee
Lord, I would follow thee
Who am I to judge another
When I walk imperfectly?
Sorrow that the eye can′t see.
Who am I to judge another?
Lord, I would follow thee.
I would be my brother's keeper;
I would learn the healer′s art.
To the wounded and the weary
I would show a gentle heart.
I would be my brother's keeper
Lord, I would follow thee.
Savior, may I love my brother
As I know thou lovest me,
Find in thee my strength, my beacon,
For thy servant I would be.
Savior, may I learn to love thee
Lord, I would follow thee.
