[Verse 1: Full Band, Walking Bass, Rhythm Guitar & Horn Fills, Smooth Female, Ballad]
I don’t have to know where every road will go,
I just have to trust the One who knows.
When He says move, I’ll take that step,
Walking by faith with no regret.
Even when the pathway I don’t understand,
I know my steps are resting in His hands.
[Pre-Chorus – Smooth Baritone Male Voice]
I’ll follow where You lead me,
Your way is where I want to be.
[Chorus – Duet]
I’m walking in the steps of Jesus,
Following wherever He leads us.
Teach me to love, obey, and serve,
To live my life according to Your Word.
Love You, Lord, and my neighbor too,
That’s what the steps of Jesus do.
[Verse 2 – Smooth Baritone Male Voice]
Jesus showed us how our steps should go,
Love God first, then let that love overflow.
Serving one another, walking in His grace,
Showing His compassion in every place.
And if I stumble while I’m on my way,
Your hand will hold me, I will not stay down.
[Pre-Chorus – Smooth Jazz Female Voice]
You’ve never left the righteous,
Your faithfulness still carries us.
[Chorus – Duet]
We’re walking in the steps of Jesus,
Following wherever He leads us.
Teach us to love, obey, and serve,
To live our lives according to Your Word.
Love You, Lord, and our neighbors too,
That’s what the steps of Jesus do.
Order our steps, Lord, help us see,
What You are already doing in us.

[Rap – Male Voice]
My steps aren’t random, God ordered my way,
I’m trusting His direction every single day.
Love God, love people, that’s how we move,
Serving one another like Jesus would do.
And if I stumble, I know where I stand,
Psalms thirty-seven says He’s holding my hand.
So I’m moving by faith wherever He leads,
Walking in the steps of Jesus faithfully.

The steps of Jesus…
That’s where we’ll walk.
The steps of Jesus…
Following His heart.
Step by step, hand in hand,
We’re walking in the steps of Jesus.
