I’ll Walk With God

This past Saturday we watched an old movie which we recently purchased — The Student Prince. I first saw this movie while in high school and my mom had an album of the songs from the movie, all sung by Mario Lanza.

This song below has always been one of my favorites from the movie; even as a non Christian I believed in God. In the movie the prince’s father has just died and he now is king. As he stands alone in the cathedral looking at his father’s coffin on the bier with four guards he sings this song, finally realizing his duties.

If you’d like to hear the song, this link goes to the scene (the actor playing the prince is lip-synching Mario Lanza).

The lyrics are good for encouragement and the tune is remarkable.

I'll walk with God

From this day on,

His helping hand I'll lean upon.

This is my prayer my humble plea:

May the Lord be ever with me.

There is no death though eyes grow dim.

There is no fear when I'm near to Him.

I'll lean on Him forever

And He'll forsake me never.

He will not fail me as long as my faith is strong,

What ever road I may walk alone.

I'll walk with God,

I'll take His hand.

I'll talk with God he'll understand.

I'll pray to Him,

Each day to Him,

And He'll hear the words that I say.

His hand will guide my throne and rod

And I'll never walk alone

While I walk with God
