(Intro)
(Music starts: A steady, 4/4 "walking" drum beat. A simple, rhythmic piano part.)
(Your vocal comes in, full of soul.)
Lord...
I'm walking...
(Ad-lib: Oh, I'm walking...)
(Verse 1)
Lord, I'm walking in your steps
And I can't bear this pain alone.
(Ad-lib: You were there...)
You walked with me through trials
And by your sacrifice, I'm yours.
I'm bound to you with no regret
And this pain I once had... (building) has GONE!
(Chorus - The "Hitmaker" Hook)
(The "beat" is driving now! Bass and organ kick in.)
It has fallen and gone away!
Just by walking by faith alone!
Repenting for all my wrongs,
Diving in your word!
It gives me strength and courage
And encourages me on the road ahead!
(Ad-lib: On the road ahead!)
Lord, I'm walking in your steps!
(Verse 2)
(Music grooves, you're "testifying" now.)
There were days I couldn't see the path
(Ad-lib: I couldn't see my hand in front of me!)
The "accuser" was talkin' loud
Told me I should just turn back
But I remembered Your promise
And Your blood that covers me!
(Chorus - The "Hitmaker" Hook)
(Fuller sound! A small choir joins you.)
It has fallen and gone away!
Just by walking by faith alone!
Repenting for all my wrongs,
Diving in your word!
It gives me strength and courage
And encourages me on the road ahead!
(Ad-lib: On the road ahead!)
Lord, I'm walking in your steps!
(Bridge - The "Hitmaker" Declaration)
(Music drops to just piano and light drums... building intensity.)
By Your sacrifice, I'm yours...
(Ad-lib: No regret...)
I'm bound to You with no regret...
(Ad-lib: All my wrongs...)
Repenting for all my wrongs...
(Ad-lib: Diving in...)
Diving in Your word!
(Music explodes back to full!)
It gives me STRENGTH! It gives me COURAGE!
(Final Chorus / Vamp)
(Full "Hitmaker" Gospel! You're ad-libbing over the choir!)
(Choir: It has fallen and gone away!)
Gone away!
(Choir: Just by walking by faith alone!)
By faith alone!
(Choir: Repenting for all my wrongs,)
(Choir: Diving in your word!)
It gives me STRENGTH! (Choir: Gives me strength!)
It gives me COURAGE! (Choir: And courage!)
On the road ahead!
Lord, I'm walking in your steps!
(Outro)
(Music fades with the "walking" beat.)
(Ad-lib: Step by step...)
(Ad-lib: I'm walking...)
(Ad-lib: Walking by faith...)
(Song ends.)
