Mark Bishop - Before Me, Behind Me, Beside Me Lyrics

Verse 1
I chanced to meet and old friend on the street just the other day.
We reminisced about the past, told stories of yesterday.
Then he said, "I heard you're a Christian, believing in God somewhere."
I said, "Yes, I am. But in one way you're wrong.
For wherever I go ? He's there."

Chorus
He goes before me...preparing the way.
He stands behind me...listening when I pray.
He walks beside me...and I am restored.
Before me, behind me, beside me is my Lord.

Verse 2
This world will take a Christian, and slowly belittle your faith.
The things you hold dear are rejected.
There's no room for mercy or grace.
But when I feel discouraged.
When I feel I'm walking alone.
I sense His hand on my shoulder, and I know He's guiding me home.
