His Footsteps of Righteousness



He leads me along
In His footsteps of righteousness
No, it’s not my righteousness that my Shepherd wants me to walk in today…
My footsteps of righteousness are tiny, barely visible
With spans of “missing, missing” in the track book…

He leads me along in His footsteps of righteousness
That are firm, steady, very distinguished.
They have the proof of nail-scared hands, a pierced side,
A laid down life of love, of suffering…poured out…
Lining the inside of each step…

His footsteps of righteousness
Pave a path of victory for me,
Pave a way to freedom,
Freedom from the power of sin, guilt, condemnation and shame.
His footsteps of righteousness
Let me put my feet into them, as I believe who He is and what He has done…
And become righteous…

Yes, my Shepherd leads me here,
To His footsteps of righteousness
He invites me to receive the gift of His love
And step into His righteousness…and become righteous forever!!

Shepherding Love

Out of the prison, the pit, the dungeon,
Out of the tyranny, He leads me.

Carefully,
Restoring my dignity, healing my wounds, mending my brokenness...

Carefully,
He carries me bringing me to safety...

In His shepherding love...I feel secure,
Safe from the terror of the lurking enemy and the stealing thief...

His shepherding arm of love leads me
To the green pastures and the still waters...

His shepherding voice sings His love song to me...

Abundance...
Is the goal of this shepherding love,
As He fills me with renewed strength, joy, peace, and hope.

His shepherding love wants me with Him,
Promising that He will never leave me...

His shepherding love,
Draws me out...restores...goes before me...stays with me.

Shepherding love that guides me toward the promised land,
Safely and carefully...

Shepherding love
