Lyrics:
Walk with me quiet, walk with me slow
With watered-down coffee, and words of gold
I can feel the edges of these things
When I hear you speak to me, so walk with me
Walk with me empty, walk with me strong
The hush of our voices, when the day seems so long
It is like a balm, it is like a jewel
It unravels all i thought I knew
Will you lead me, beside the still waters
Where the oil, it runs over, and my cup over flows
You restore my soul
Tell me the story, where old is made new
The promise of ages, and all things that are true
When the shadows fall and the wrecking ball
Swings and tears me through the heart

From the Author:
“This song is about friendship and Psalm 23. It is a beautiful thing how we were made for community and how our relationships are one of the primary means of our sanctification. These are the places where we see both our sin and God’s mercy, and these are the places where we learn to extend grace and service to others. Because of the fall, however, we find that even our greatest love here will fail us, and our greatest work is still filthy rags by God’s standards. In great contrast, we find our righteousness, perfect rest and all we need in Jesus.”
