Lyrics
We cannot see in the future,
we cannot see through dark clouds.
We cannot see through teardrops,
but walk on by faith each day.
(On Monday), walk on,
(On Tuesday), walk on,
let Jesus be your guide.
(He's able to carry your load),
(He can see way down the road);
walk on by faith each day,
walk on by faith each day.
(On Monday), walk on,
(On Tuesday), walk on,
Let Jesus be your guide.
(He's able to carry your load),
(He can see way down the road);
Walk on by faith each day,
Walk on by faith each day.
(On Monday), walk on,
(On Tuesday), walk on,
let Jesus be your guide.
(He's able to carry your load),
(He can see way down the road...)
Walk on.
Walk on by faith each day,
walk on by faith each day.

Meaning & Inspiration
“Walk On By Faith” presents faith as steady obedience when the future cannot be seen clearly. Dark clouds, tears, and uncertainty describe circumstances that obscure the road ahead, yet the repeated command to keep walking refuses to let limited sight become paralysis. Jesus is named as the guide who can carry burdens and see farther down the road. The song’s simple weekday references make trust a daily practice rather than a response reserved for dramatic moments.
The refrain closely reflects the biblical contrast between walking by faith and walking by sight. Its emphasis is not on denying hardship, since tears and heavy loads remain present, but on relying upon Christ within them. Repetition gives the lyric a pastoral, encouraging quality: each return to “walk on” reinforces endurance one day at a time. The result is a concise expression of Christian perseverance, with confidence resting in Jesus’ ability to lead where human vision cannot reach and to sustain faith through changing circumstances.
