Walk Tall

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 41:10

This has become one of my favorite scriptures. So much so that I carry it with me everywhere I go: in my wallet, in a note written to me by one of my best friends in a time of frustration and need. This is my testimony: He lives. He loves me, He loves you. And He is never far away.

Walk Tall

1. Right now I have a prayer deep within my heart,
A prayer for each of you there is a special part.
That you remember who you are and He who lives above.
Please seek for Him and live His way; you’ll feel His love.


Chorus:
Walk tall, you’re a daughter, a child of God.
Be strong—please remember who you are.
Try to understand, You’re part of His great plan.
He’s closer than you know—reach up, He’ll take your hand.


2. Long before the time you can remember,
Our Father held you in His arms so tender.
Those loving arms released you as He sent you down to earth.
He said, “My child, I love you. Don’t forget your great worth.”

Chorus

3. This life on earth we knew would not be easy.
At times we lose our way—His plan we may not see.
But please remember always—please—that you are not alone.
He’ll take your hand. He loves you! He will guide you home.

It's true. I know it is. I know it with all of my heart. He's always there. All we have to do is reach for Him.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Amen.

That's also one of my favorite scriptures, Courtney. I'm glad you can have it with you wherever you go, because where that is, there will the Lord be also. Everything in that note you carry is true, and always will be.

That song is also beautiful. I can relate to its message, and the message of Isaiah. Thank you for sharing. :-)
