I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked

Composer: Geoffrey O'Hara (1882-1967
Lyrics: Daniel S. Twohig (1883-1961)
Arranger: Edward F. Burckart

Like many hymns, the intro starts this song with notes from the piano, gradually setting the stage for the violin to take center stage with the melody. When the violin sings the melodious strains, you can feel the deep longing to walk where Jesus walked in your soul. It is a perfectly lovely hymn, fraught with reverence, sweet sorrow, and poignant emotions. Can you see the footsteps in the sand before you as you walk by the Sea of Galilee? Can you sense the peace and holy stillness He felt in the Mount of Olives? Can you hear the voice of Christ crying out to His Father as He hung dying on the cross of Calvary?

Worship and adore Him for the pain He suffered, the agony He endured, the wretched loneliness He bore - all for you, so you might share bliss with Him for all eternity in Heaven…

This lovely, utterly enchanting piece fills your soul and spirit to overflowing, and leaves a deep remembrance in your mind as the last notes die away.

Description by Brieanna Savard

I walked today where Jesus walked,
In days of long ago.
I wandered down each path He knew,
With reverent step and slow.

Those little lanes, they have not changed,
A sweet peace fills the air.
I walked today where Jesus walked,
And felt Him close to me.

My pathway led through Bethlehem,
A memory's ever sweet.
The little hills of Galilee,
That knew His childish feet.

The Mount of Olives, hallowed scenes,
That Jesus knew before
I saw the mighty Jordan row,
As in the days of yore.

I knelt today where Jesus knelt,
Where all alone he prayed.
The Garden of Gethsemane,
My heart felt unafraid.

I picked my heavy burden up,
And with Him at my side,
I climbed the Hill of Calvary,
I climbed the Hill of Calvary,
I climbed the Hill of Calvary,
Where on the Cross He died!

I walked today where Jesus walked,
And felt Him close to me.
