Side by Side

I ran to meet my Lord today

The same old place, the same old way

And there He was with arms out wide

Oh what a joy I felt inside

He sat me down and read to me

The words He read, my heart could see

They went much deeper than my mind

These words were light to me, once blind

His words of light, of life, of love

Flowed into to me from up above

His words alone my heart did fill

Oh what a joy, oh what a thrill

I know that once He fills my heart

Together we, this day will start

My life can not much better be

Than when my Savior walks with me

He’ll guide my heart and guide my way

He’ll walk with me throughout this day

No matter where the road may lead

Today He’ll give me all I need

I’ll run to meet my Lord each day

The same old place, the same old way

And there He’ll be with arms out wide

To walk together, side by side
