Brad Paisley - Walk By Faith Lyrics
Lyrics
I will walk by faith through the fire and the flame
You are my hiding place
I will walk by faith when the levy starts to break
One thing will never change
Yes one thing will never change
Jesus the bright Morning Star
You are alive and You're lighting up the dark
Savior I'm trusting in Your name
I will follow you as I walk by faith
I will lift my eyes to the calmer of the storm
I will not be afraid
I will lift my eyes to remind my soul again
You are the God who saves
Yes You are the God who saves
Jesus the bright morning star
You are alive and You're lighting up the dark
Savior I'm trusting in Your name
I will follow you as I walk by faith
The darker the night the brighter the light
That shines You shine
The darker the night the brighter the light
That shines You shine
The darker the night the brighter the light
That shines You shine
The darker the night the brighter the light
That shines You shine
Jesus the bright morning star
You are alive and You're lighting up the dark
Savior I'm trusting in Your name
I will follow You as I walk by faith
The darker the night the brighter the light
That shines You shine
The darker the night the brighter the light
That shines You shine
Jesus the bright morning star
You are alive and You're lighting up the dark
Savior I'm trusting in Your name
I will follow You as I walk by faith

Meaning & Inspiration
Brad Paisley's "When I Get Where I'm Going," featuring the incomparable Dolly Parton, released on October 3, 2009, offers a profound meditation on faith, hope, and the eternal promise of a heavenly reunion, resonating deeply with believers. The song artfully crafts a narrative of anticipating the afterlife, not with fear, but with a joyful certainty grounded in scripture. Its core message is one of unshakeable belief in a destination beyond earthly struggles, a place of ultimate peace and belonging. This perspective aligns directly with the biblical assurance found in Philippians 1:21, where Paul expresses his conviction that "to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Paisley’s lyrics paint a picture of this anticipation, envisioning a future where earthly relationships are renewed and perfected in God's presence. The sentiment echoes the Apostle John's comforting words in 1 John 3:2, "Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is." The song’s gentle yet powerful exploration of this theme encourages listeners to carry the same hopeful outlook, finding solace and strength in the knowledge that their faith provides a solid anchor. It’s a powerful reminder that our earthly journey, though often filled with challenges, is but a prelude to a glorious, eternal homecoming.
