Gospel and Country

Everything I am is because of the Lord and I give all the glory to Him. The simple truth is God will take care of you. Take the leap of faith, ask Jesus into your heart, accept His gift of grace, trust and live for Him. Psalm 59:16 "But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble." I am a singer/songwriter playing for the sheer joy of it. I've been finding peace singing at my piano all my life. I'm happy to sing and play for my supper anytime. :)

Story behind the song

Pastor's song for his beloved wife.

Lyrics

I'll Walk Slowly

Their school yard romance
Began one September day
He asked to walk her home
She smiled and said okay

When the school bell finally rang
He couldn't leave the class
He still had work to do
And his heart dropped as she walked past

He asked if she'd stay behind
But she had to say

My father said come straight home
I'm sorry but I can't wait
I'll start out on my own
But you know the path I'll take
I'll walk slowly
I'll walk slowly

Halfway home he caught up with her
And they walked side by side
Two souls now complete
Impossible to divide
Step by step all of thier lives

Their lifetime romance
Ended one December day
He knelt beside her bed
Took her hands and prayed

They said a thousand things
In one last loving gaze
A mournful church bell rang
She quietly slipped away

He cried as she left behind
But he knew she'd say

My Father said to come straight home
I'm sorry but I can't wait
I'll start on my own
But you know the path I'll take
And I'll walk slowly
And I'll walk slowly
I'll walk slowly

The video from your church of you performing this 
was wonderful. A very good "live" performance, although this version is good also.

I imagine the pastor was very touched that you did this for him, Melissa.

I enjoyed the listen, this was sweet, and so sad.
