I read the news today It seemed like the whole wide world was dying And I couldn't change it I saw a photograph I couldn't believe the things we're trying To somehow save it Sometimes you've got to just stand tough And know who's in control Don't you know that A strong will just ain't good enough You've got to hold on to the blessed hope inside you Walkin' up the steps of faith And no matter what it takes You just keep on walkin' Walkin' up the steps of faith Walkin' up the steps of faith Even when your spirit shakes You just keep on walkin' Walkin' up the steps of faith With every step we take We're climbing closer to our home So if you should falter Reach out and take my hand Together we'll climb the jagged stones That lead to our Father Sometimes you ain't strong enough To make it up alone Don't you know that I'm gonna be here to lift you up Just put your weary weight upon my shoulders Walkin' up the steps of faith And no matter what it takes You just keep on walkin' Walkin' up the steps of faith Walkin' up the steps of faith Even when your spirit shakes You just keep on walkin' Walkin' up the steps of faith (Just keep on walkin') Whoa... Ooh-hoo-hoo... (You're never walkin' alone) Don't you know, He'll be there to guide us And love Him, yeah (True faith of our fathers We will be true That faith is real, it's real) Walkin' up the steps of faith And no matter what it takes You just keep on walkin' Walkin' up the steps of faith Walkin' up the steps of faith Even when your spirit shakes You just keep on walkin' Walkin' up the steps of faith Walkin', walkin' (Steps of faith) Walkin', walkin' (Steps of faith) You just keep on walkin' Walkin' up the steps of faith Walkin', walkin' (Steps of faith) Walkin', walkin' (Steps of faith) You just keep on walkin' Walkin' up the steps of faith
