| 1. My soul is joyful in the Lord;
His light shines all around;
For Jesus is my life, my way;
His love in me abounds.
Refrain.
I am walking, walking in the light,
The truth, the light, the way;
I am walking, walking in the light,
The beautiful light of God today.
2. His blood has cleansed me
from all sin;
I’m every whit made whole;
And life and light shine now within,
And glory fills my soul.
Refrain.
I am walking, walking in the light,
The truth, the light, the way;
I am walking, walking in the light,
The beautiful light of God today.
3. My life is hid with Christ in God;
My bread is in His Word;
My meat and drink
His righteousness,
In Him I live and move.
Refrain.
I am walking, walking in the light,
The truth, the light, the way;
I am walking, walking in the light,
The beautiful light of God today.
4. I care not for this world below;
It has no charms I love;
I live by faith and faith alone;
I seek a home above.
Refrain.
I am walking, walking in the light,
The truth, the light, the way;
I am walking, walking in the light,
The beautiful light of God today.
