Footsteps Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Took a step in the night, didn't know I was ready
Took a shot in the dark but I knew You would show me
Put my feet on the path but I'm stepping in your shadow
Not sure where to land but I knew how to follow

[Chorus]
But as long as I can see Your footsteps, I'm all right
I know that I can see Your footsteps, I'm all right
You're my guiding light, light, light

[Verse 2]
You show me the way and I hit the ground running
Every step that I took didn't know what was coming
When the days got long and the road got narrow
I remember what you said that I'd never be alone

[Chorus]
But as long as I can see Your footsteps, I'm all right
I know that I can see Your footsteps, I'm all right
You're my guiding light, light, light
You're my guiding light, light, light
Light, light

[Bridge]
No, I'm not turning back even when the fight comes
Keep pressing on, keep pressing on, keep pressing on
No, I'm not looking back even in the battle
I keep pressing on, keep pressing on, keep pressing on, yeah
[Verse 3]
Everywhere that I ran took me to the beginning
When You called me Your son and
You said You would lead me
Everything that I am is the man You made me
Everything You've done made my life, made my life... worth living

[Chorus]
But as long as I can see Your footsteps, I'm all right
I know that I can see Your footsteps, I'm all right
You're my guiding light, light, light
You're my guiding light, light, light
I can see Your footsteps, I'm all right
I'm walking, oh I'm walking

[Outro]
As long as I can see Your footsteps, I'm all right
