Walter was the brother of gospel singer Edwin Hawkins and Lynette Hawkins-Stephens. While married to Tramaine Hawkins, the couple had two children: a son, Walter "Jamie" Hawkins, Jr. (Myiia "Sunny" Hawkins) and a daughter, Trystan Hawkins with one granddaughter, Jahve Hawkins and one grandson, Jamie Daniel Hawkins.
Hawkins started his career with his brothers' hit song "Oh Happy Day" with The Edwin Hawkins Singers which became one of the first gospel songs to crossover onto mainstream charts.
Walter left the group in the early '70s to establish the Love Center Church in Oakland, CA. He and his Love Center Choir had considerable success with his Love Alive series, which collectively sold over a million copies from the '70s through the '90s

This repeated emphasis on the fact that the singer is not alone emphasizes the message of the song that God is always with them.

Been through the fire and the rain but He was right there with me every step of the way. I am grateful. Thank You Jesus for saving me. I love You because You first loved me. Be encourage brothers and sisters. He knows our names and He will never leave us alone.
