Jesus Christ Walks
Hawkins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I think about the hour
Then I know what I must do
No man knows the day nor the hour
May be morning, night or noon

But just rest asure
Time will be no more
He is coming back soon

Then I will open up my heart




To everyone I see
And say Jesus Christ is the way

Two words, Simply beautiful. Another Masterpiece from none other than the Hawkins Family.

Bari O

There has never been and never will be another group like the Hawkins Family! Innovative, majestically presented, with music and lyrics that reflect God's glory away from them and back to him. every time they presented, it seemed like ministry- not a performance. Legendary is an understatement!

Jada Park-Villanueva

There have been /are MANY: The Clark sisters. The late Rance Allen and LaShaun Pace. There is just so many more beautiful voices in that great holy heavenly choir. Thank YOU, GOD, for LOANING us these beautiful people to grace us with their voices and talents

Rita Woods

I’d say, The Hawkins and Andrae Crouch
