Walk with you, wherever I go.

 Walk With You, Wherever I Go

I walk with You—my constant, my true North,

My compass and my companion henceforth.

In crowded street or solitary glen,

You are thewherever, now and till then.

Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. (Matthew 28:20)

If dawn should break on pastures green and fair,

Your goodness leads me,and I meet You there.

If dusk descends into a shadowed vale,

Your rod and staff with me will never fail.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. (Psalm 23:4)

Let the path climb steep against the stone,

I am not climbing it alone.

Let the way be through the storm and rain,

Your presence is my shelter from the pain.

The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. (Zephaniah 3:17)

In the market’s noise, the quiet of the cell,

In stories I must live,in words I tell,

In every“yes,” in every feared “unknown,”

I do not take a single step alone.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9)

So bind my heart to Yours, a threefold cord,

My Shelter,my Beloved, and my Lord.

Wherever I go—by sea or dusty street,

Your footsteps echoing beside my feet.

My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. (Exodus 33:14)

This is the promise, solid as the earth:

My going out,my rest, my endless worth.

Not just above or just ahead I see,

But walkingwith me—wherever I may be.

Amen.

Scriptural Foundation of the Promise:

The poem rests on the core biblical promise of God's abiding presence with His people.

· Matthew 28:20 – Jesus’ final promise of His perpetual presence.

· Psalm 23 – The iconic image of God as Shepherd, guiding and protecting through all terrains of life.

· Joshua 1:9 – A direct command and promise for courage based on God’s omnipresence with us.

· Zephaniah 3:17 & Exodus 33:14 – Emphasize the active, saving, and comforting nature of His presence.

The title echoes the commitment of Ruth (“Where you go I will go” – Ruth 1:16) but frames it as our response to God’s prior and greater promise to be with us. It is a prayer of trust, acknowledging that our true destination is not a place, but a Person.
