Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every step of the way
I found grace
If I lead or follow
Change my pace
[Verse 2]
I get tired
Lose my way
My Lord
He knows me every step of the way
[Verse 3]
Every step of the way
I found grace
If I lead or follow
Change my pace
[Verse 4]
I get tired
Lonely
Lose my way
My Lord
He knows me every step of the way
My Lord
He knows me
[Verse 5]
Every step (Every step)
Of the way (Of the way)
I found grace
If I lead (Lead)
Or I follow (Follow)
Change my pace
[Verse 6]
I get tired (Tired)
And lonely (Lonely)
Lose my way
[Verse 7]
My Lord (My Lord)
He knows me
Every step of the way
[Verse 8]
My Lord (My Lord)
He knows me
Every step of the way
[Verse 9]
(Yeah, every step)
My Lord
He knows me
Every step of the way (Every step)
(Of the way)
Every step of the way (Every step)
(Of the way)
Every step of the way (Every step)
(Of the way)
[Verse 10]
(Every step)
(Of the way)
(Every step)
(Of the way)
(Every step)
(Of the way)
(Every step)
(Of the way)
