This all-ladies trio consists of Shelley Breen, Denise Jones, and Leigh Cappillino. The group started out as a quartet in 1991, with original members Breen and Jones, as well as Terry Jones and Heather Payne. In November 2003, Terry Jones decided she needed to spend more time with her family after giving birth to her third child, and left the group, with Cappillino joining in March 2004 for their 2004 release I Choose You. In June 2008, Payne announced her retirement from the group, in order to spend more time with her husband and four children.

In 1998, they added a touring band, with Cappillino's husband, Dana, and Tommy McGee as permanent band members on guitar and on bass, respectively.

In 2006, former Avalon member Michael Passons added his work to the group's live show, usually opening the set with a few solo songs and backing the group on keyboards.

The group's debut self-titled album was released in 1993; since then, they have been recognized as one of the top Contemporary Christian music bands in the United States. In 2003, they released their ninth album, 24 - a compilation of their 24 consecutive #1 radio singles. To this date, no band in any genre has matched this record. As of 2006 the girls have 27 #1 radio singles.

The group has started a conference for young girls, the Girls of Grace series

Steady On
Point of Grace Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kicking up the dust, heaven or bust
We're headed for the promised land
Since the moment we believed, we've been eager to leave
Like a child tugging daddy's hand
May we never forget that patience is a virtue
Calm our anxious feet so faithful hands can serve you lord

[Chorus:]

We run up ahead, we lag behind you
It's hard to wait when heaven's on our mind
Teach our restless feet to walk beside you
'Cause in our hearts we're already gone
Will you walk with us
Steady on

We want to walk awhile
We know that every mile is bringing us closer home
We want to tell the story
Of sinner bound for glory and turn to find we're not alone
When we walk in your light the lost will see you better
As the narrow road gets crowded lord won't you lead us...

[Chorus:]

Steady me when the road of faith gets rocky
Oh ready me, for fears I cannot see
Lord won't you let me be a witness to your promise
Won't you steady me

[Chorus:]

We run on up ahead, we lag behind you
It's hard to wait when heaven's on our minds
Teach our restless feet to walk beside you
'Cause in our hearts we're already gone

[Chorus:]

Will you walk with us
Steady on...

it's a good yielding to God and a good reminder as well to self, as saying, why so downcast, o my soul, put your hope in God-

Kicking up the dust, heaven or bust
We're headed for the promised land
Since the moment we believed, we've been eager to leave
Like a child tugging daddy's hand
May we never forget that patience is a virtue
Calm our anxious feet so faithful hands can serve you lord
We run up ahead, we lag behind you
It's hard to wait when heaven's on our mind
Teach our restless feet to walk beside you
'Cause in our hearts we're already gone
Will you walk with us
Steady on
We want to walk awhile
We know that every mile is bringing us closer home
We want to tell the story
Of sinner bound for glory and turn to find we're not alone
When we walk in your light the lost will see you better
As the narrow road gets crowded lord won't you lead us...
We run up ahead, we lag behind you
It's hard to wait when heaven's on our mind
Teach our restless feet to walk beside you
'Cause in our hearts we're already gone
Will you walk with us
Steady on
Steady me when the road of faith gets rocky
Oh ready me, for fears I cannot see
Lord won't you let me be a witness to your promise
Won't you steady me
We run on up ahead, we lag behind you
It's hard to wait when heaven's on our minds
Teach our restless feet to walk beside you
'Cause in our hearts we're already gone
We run up ahead, we lag behind you
It's hard to wait when heaven's on our mind
Teach our restless feet to walk beside you
'Cause in our hearts we're already gone
Will you walk with us
Steady on
Will you walk with us
Steady on..
