Well I promised that I would share with you why I chose the title I did.
It's actually quite simple. I took the title from one of my favorite songs that my band performed at church. Step By Step / Forever We will Sing by Michael W. Smith.
Although I never opened with "HELLO LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY!" as he does in his album (recorded live), I have gotten much excitement when performing this piece.
I played in a Worship Band called "Redeemed." We featured original pieces, but also performed covers from many Christian Contemporary artists. Artists like Michael W. Smith, Newsboys, Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin, Hillsong (United), and more. We were never VERY good, but it was fun. We played in a few local concerts, but because we all had our own jobs or school (or both), we never found time to record.
But anyway, the lyrics to this particular song start out like this:
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And Step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days
These are such simple lyrics, but they speak volumes about the attitude that we should have when following God. We don't know where the checkered flag will appear or even what the next road mark will be. It is by each step that we follow him. No matter how many days we have, God should be the center of our lives and we ought to live by faith. Then we can truly walk in His ways.
Well, I need to get back to cleaning my room and packing. I just wanted to do a quick update. 57 days till I leave!
