I Want Jesus to Walk with Me Lyrics
1 I want Jesus to walk with me.
I want Jesus to walk with me.
All along my pilgrim journey,
Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.
2 In my trials, Lord, walk with me.
In my trials, Lord, walk with me.
When my heart is almost breaking,
Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.
3 When I’m in trouble, Lord, walk with me.
When I’m in trouble, Lord, walk with me.
When my head is bowed in sorrow,
Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me.
I Want Jesus to Walk with Me Hymn Story
“I Want Jesus to Walk with Me” is an African American spiritual whose authorship is unknown. African American spirituals developed during the days of slavery.
They are a mixture of their African cultures and the culture of their masters. They were songs and tunes used by slaves while they were working on plantations in America.
This spiritual song is a request for God to be with us, or to walk alongside us. It is a longing for Christ to be with us in our trials. To be with us in our trials. It is only when we have “Christ in the vessel that we can smile at the tide”.
