Verse 1
He led us forth by the straightest way,
Through desert winds and skies of gray.
Not by power, not by might,
But by friendship in the firelight.
Pre-Chorus
No throne, no sword, no scholar’s pride,
Just a whisper: “Come abide.”
He called the twelve to walk, not strive—
To be with Him, to come alive.
Chorus
Walk with me, not above me,
Speak with love, not just decree.
Father to son, heart to heart,
This is where the Kingdom starts.
Not in halls of Greek debate,
But in covenant we cultivate.
Walk with me, and we will see—
A church reborn relationally.
Verse 2
From contact to community,
Through conflict and humility.
We choose the bond, we make the vow,
We build the future starting now.
Bridge
Raise the arrows, sons of light,
From strongholds of prophetic fight.
Informal fires, sacred ground,
Where true maturity is found.
Final Chorus
Walk with me, not above me,
Speak with love, not just decree.
Father to son, heart to heart,
This is where the Kingdom starts.
Not in strength or intellect,
But in the grace we all reflect.
Walk with me, and we will be—
A covenantal family.
