Walk In the Light By The Emerging Sound
A Few Words from The Authors
“The chorus is a wonderful old spiritual. This track is a faith-full, old-school meets new-school, gospel meets southern, collision of life— And Friends, I do sincerely regret to inform you that this live moment might have gone on for over 45 minutes and you’re only getting a little taste of the glory. It was loud, a bit sweaty and contained the joy of celebration that only occurs when heaven meets earth. For such a time as this!!”
~ Jennie Lee Riddle
“This one is very special to me because I grew up on these sounds. They are simple songs that command the soul and soothe any situation. This is not only a ‘song,’ but an exhortation and a reminder that no matter how bleak life gets, we must walk in the Light!” ~ Randy Griffin
“I love this song because it carries a message and presence that can resonate through all of the Church and beyond. Singing simple but true lyrics like “So we need to get over ourselves” is such an easy way to declare unity and a commitment to walk together. Play it again!! ~ Morgan Rhyno
“As ideas for the song's direction began to take shape, one moment has stayed with me ever since. Randy shared that the songs he grew up singing in church were the same ones his parents sang - and their parents before them. That image of spiritual deposits passed down from generation to generation, like a precious heirloom, has stayed with me; this song captures that idea well—the beauty of generational diversity within the body of Christ and the way both young and old can support one another as we march toward the throne in unity.” ~ Aaron Greenberg
“I was so honored to sit at the piano for this writing session. The timeless Gospel vibe that emerged from this writing team is an ideal reflection of the timeless Gospel message captured in the lyrics. “Walk in the Light” means we have the enormous privilege and responsibility to follow in the path of the Light Himself. ‘The call to follow means we’re gonna walk together so we need to get over ourselves.’ March on, Saints!”~ Paul Herman
Walk In the light Lyrics
Chorus 1
Walk in the light, beautiful light.
Come where the dewdrops of mercy shine bright.
Shine all around us by day and by night,
Jesus, the Light of the world.
Verse 1
Oh, it might lead us down the road less traveled, (Come on, Jennie!)
But with each step, you’re closer to home. (Yeah!)
In the hindsight, we’ll find it's the highlight,
And we never took one step alone. (Hallelujah!)

It’s all a part of the goodness of the Lord.

Then, my friend, I’ll meet you at the throne! (Til then we'll)

Walk in the light, (Yeah! Whoa!) beautiful light.
Come where the dewdrops of mercy shine bright. (Shine all around us!)

Of His saving grace!

All my cares have passed,
