Walk With Me
Oliver A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea.
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
I am weak, but Thou art strong
Jesus, keep me from all wrong.
I'll be satisfied as long
In this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who but Thee my burden shares?
None but Thee, oh Lord, none but Thee.
When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me will be more no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom shore to Thy shore
When my weary life is o'er
Pain and suff'ring are no more.
Who will lead me safely o'er
Canaan's shore,
That sweet Canaan's shore.
The lyrics of Oliver A's song Walk With Me take the form of a prayer where the singer is asking Jesus for guidance and support throughout their daily life. The opening line "Just a closer walk with Thee" suggests that the singer is seeking a more intimate relationship with Jesus, asking for his presence to be near them. The repetition of "let it be" reinforces this idea of surrendering to Jesus' will and guidance. The following lines highlight the singer's recognition of their own weakness and their dependence on Jesus to keep them on the right path, "I am weak but thou art strong, Jesus keep me from all wrong." The idea is that when someone is walking with Jesus, they have nothing to fear - even in this "world of toil and snares". The singer trusts that if they falter, Jesus will be there to carry their burden because no one else can take His place. The final lines are a plea for Jesus to guide them safely to heaven as their earthly life comes to an end.
Overall, the song is an expression of faith in Jesus and a desire to have him be present through all the ups and downs of daily life. The prayer is personal and reflects a close relationship with Jesus where the singer is relying on him for guidance and strength. The lyrics can be interpreted as a reminder that no matter how difficult life may seem, those who trust in Jesus will find comfort and strength in their faith.
