Since my brother’s wedding over a year ago, a lot of people who were at the wedding and many who weren’t, have asked me about the song I wrote as a gift to him and his wife, Janet.
Today is Valentine’s Day, so I thought today would be a great day to share the lyrics.
I was so happy and honored that my dear friend, Dennis Lewallen, was able to take the lyrics and the spirit of the event and write the most beautiful, enchanting melody.
Let Me Walk Beside You
Lyrics: Jason Daniel Hood
Music: Dennis Lewallen
Verse 1
Let me walk beside you
In days
In nights
In moments
In hours we pass through
Let me walk beside you
In joy
In pain
In the day to day
We carry or struggle through
Chorus
Let me walk beside you, not in front or behind you
Knowing always I am yours, you are mine
I won’t let tomorrow stumble on today
Borrowing trouble, inviting it in to stay
Verse 2
Let me walk beside you
Though gently laughing years
Our hopes
In perfect balance
With our fears
Let me walk beside you
And see in your eyes
What is true
Understood
Held in your heart
(interlude)
In all we carry
In all we struggle through
Bridge
I know this is Holy
The best of all things
All things in you
All things in me
The best yet to be
Ending
Let me walk beside you, not in front or behind you
Knowing always I am yours, you are mine
Always knowing I am yoursYou are mine
