Every Step of the Way

Looking over my shoulder
I see things that might have been
Things I thought that I needed
Slipped through my fingers
Time and time again
Doors were opening and closing
And I couldn't see the reasons why
Thought for a moment You'd left me
But it turns out You were there all the time

Over mountains, through the valleys
Even when I turned away
Always walking right beside me
You've been with me all my days
You will never leave me lonely
You won't treat me that way
When I stand, when I fall
Lord, You're with me
Every step of the way

Yeah, yeah, yeah, mm-mmm...

You know my mama, she told me
I was holding an unseen hand
I learned my lessons at Sunday school
And I read something
'Bout footprints in the sand
Mmm, soon I came to discover
That the books winds up on the shelf
Yeah, I started learning the hard way
And I found out for myself

Over mountains, through the valleys
Even when I turned away
Always walking right beside me
You've been with me all my days
You will never leave me lonely
You won't treat me that way
When I stand, when I fall
Lord, You're with me
Every step of the way, yeah

Mmm, there ain't no mountain too high
There ain't no valley too low
Nothing on earth can separate me from You
There ain't no river too wide
There ain't no ocean too deep
There has never been a single moment
You weren't with me, yeah

No, no, no, no

You will never leave me lonely
You won't do me that way
When I stand, when I fall
You'll be with me
(Mountains, valleys)
Every step of the way, yeah

(When I turned away)
Always walking right beside me
You'll be with me all my days
(every step of the way)
You will never leave me lonely
You won't treat me that way
When I stand, when I fall
You'll be with me
Every step of the way, mmm...
Every step of the way, yeah
