God Leads Us Along

 Psalm 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

We don’t always like where the path of life leads us, but if we are following the Good Shepherd, we can be assured that He will lead us in the right path.


Psalm 37:23  The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.


God Leads Us Along

In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,    —    God leads His dear children along;    —    Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet,    —    God leads His dear children along.


Chorus:

Some through the waters, some through the flood,    —    Some through the fire, but all through the blood;    —    Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,    —    In the night season and all the day long.


Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,  —  God leads His dear children along;    —    Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,    —    God leads His dear children along.


Though sorrows befall us and Satan oppose,    —    God leads His dear children along;    —    Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,    —    God leads His dear children along.


George A. Young 1903
