Lyrics
Your Footsteps
Verse 1 (John):
The wind blows but we don't know where it comes from.
Holy Spirit breathe in me that you may lead me and work in my life,
To do Your purpose right here in this world.
Chorus:
Teach me Your ways, O Lord; I want to follow in Your footsteps, Jesus.
Teach us the art of love, so we will bring Your kingdom down to earth.
Verse 2 (Richard):
My spirit's yearning for Your presence in this world, holy Saviour.
O Holy Spirit, come; teach me how to walk like the Saviour. *Chorus*
Outro:
Live in me oh Lord I pray,
Live in me to do your will.
Work in me the power of your Spirit,
Work in me your story to tell.
Lord be alive come in my heart
Lord be alive to work in me
To do Your will Your work of love
To do Your will Lord set me free.
Your kingdom come Your will be done
Your kingdom come Your will be done
Your kingdom come Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
