“As thou goest, step by step, I will open up the way before thee” (Prov. 4:1212When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. (Proverbs 4:12)). (Another Translation)
“This God is our God forever and ever: He will be our Guide even unto death” (Psa. 48:1414For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death. (Psalm 48:14)).
The New Year begins a new journey,
One step at a time we may see;
But looking to Jesus for guidance,
The way will be opened for thee.
One step at a time, simply trusting
The One who is holding thy hand,
The One who with infinite wisdom,
Each step of thy pathway has planned.
The Shepherd has marked out thy pathway,
The end from beginning He knows;
But light He will give “As thou goest” -
One step at a time Jesus shows.
One step, but one step is sufficient, -
Faith trusts in the Father above,
Who worketh all things for our blessing,
Whose dealings are ever in love.
Faith rests in the One who is guiding,
And trusts Him who goeth before;
Whose love cheers and brightens the journey,
Whose presence gives joy evermore.
