Walk Another Mile
When arrested, don't despair—
Make the guards wonder and stare
Fill the prisons with your prayers:
Walk another mile
And when the guns pound at the door,
Boots and blood upon the floor
Sing and pray, love even more:
Walk another mile
CHORUS:
The eyes of God are watching;
The hand of God restores
He knows the miles you have been walking;
He will strengthen you to walk one more
When they lie and bring you shame,
'Cause you call on Jesus' name
Let the Spirit bear your pain:
Walk another mile
When they look, then look away,
Scurry off, nothing to say
Don't let fear fill up your day:
Walk another mile
CHORUS:
The eyes of God are watching;
The hand of God restores
He knows the miles you have been walking;
He will strengthen you to walk one more
When they stop you in the street
To test the love and truth you speak
Let your joy become complete:
Walk another mile
When they make every attempt
To break your love, to make you bend
Fix your eyes upon the end:
Walk another mile
Chorus
When your family's in their sights,
Keeping you awake at night
On our knees is where we fight:
Walk another mile
When arrested, don't despair—
Make the guards wonder and stare
Fill the prisons with your prayers:
Walk another mile
And when the guns pound at the door,
Boots and blood upon the floor
Sing and pray, love even more:
Walk another mile
Chorus
He will strengthen you to walk one more
