Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Footsteps I cannot see
But every move I make
And every step I take
I know they're there with me
They walk with me all the way
Beside me day by day
Through good and bad
Those footsteps won't go away
I'll never walk in life alone
There'll always be someone there
I know He won't let me down
He's with me everywhere
The special things in life I've done
Have been through Him and His love
I've been blessed in so many ways
Thanks to the Lord above
Footsteps walking with me
Footsteps I cannot see
But every move I make
And every step I take
I know they're there with me
They walk with me all the way
Beside me day by day
Through good and bad
Through happy and sad
Those footsteps won't go away
I think that my life's been planned
By the one who's guiding me
When I'm led by the hand
Of someone I can't see
I'm not always sure where to go
That's when I follow his lead
I know that the pathway that He shows
Will help me to succeed
Footsteps walking with me (footsteps walking)
Footsteps I cannot see (I cannot see)
But every move I make
And every step I take
I know they're there with me
They walk with me all the way
Beside me day by day (day by day)
Through good and bad
Through happy and sad
Those footsteps won't go away
Through good and bad
Through happy and sad
By my side they will stay
