WALK IN STEP

WALK IN STEP,  MY PEOPLE,  WALK IN STEP

NOT A LAND
MERELY OF MILK AND HONEY AND FINE THINGS
BUT
A LAND OF THE DIVINE

I LEAD --

FOLLOW?

LISTEN TO MY VOICE
AND
TAKE HOLD OF MY HAND
AND
BE LED WHERE
NO MAN HAS EVER GONE?

WILL YOU
COME ON A JOURNEY
TO THE PROMISE LAND?

LEAVE EGYPT ---- FLEE BABYLON!
LEAVE YOUR WORLD OF CONCERNS AND PRESSURES
YOUR WORLD OF RULES AND REGULATIONS
LEAVE,  PEOPLE -- FLEE!

AND

COME
AND FOLLOW ME
LEAVE YOUR DESIRES
AND YOUR HEARTACHES

COME
CLOSE TO
MY PRESENCE
AND LISTEN TO MY VOICE

WHAT DO YOU HEAR?
DO YOU HEAR A STERN FATHER?
DO YOU HEAR A TYRANT
OR

THE LOVE OF A FATHER
GENTLY GUIDING HIS CHILDREN
SAFELY TO A NEW LAND
A NEW WAY?

COME,  MY PEOPLE,  COME!
I AM BUILDING MY CHURCH
MY BRIDE

I AM CALLING YOU
TO OBEDIENCE, HOLINESS AND PURITY

I AM CALLING YOU
INTO THE FIRE TO BE PURIFIED

I AM CALLING YOU
AWAY FROM ALL
THAT MAKES YOU FEEL SECURE

I AM CALLING YOU
TO GRASP HOLD OF MY HAND
AND FLY ---
TRULY FLY
INTO MY DIVINE REALM

FOR YOU SEE
ALL
WHO ARE TRULY OF THE SPIRIT
OPERATE FROM HERE
IT IS NOT A MYSTERY
IT IS TRULY NOT A NEW WAY
BUT
THE WAY
OF
THE CROSS

THE WAY
OF
THE OPENED TOMB

THE WAY
OF
THE RESURRECTION!

COME,  PEOPLE,  COME!
LEAVE THIS EARTH
IN MY HANDS

AND

COME
AND BE MADE STRONG IN
MY PRESENCE

COME
SUP WITH ME
AT MY TABLE

COME
FLY WITH ME
UPON CLOUDS OF GLORY!

COME  ~  COME  ~  COME!
