This is probably one of the most incredible experiences I have ever been through as a Christian writer. While I'm a songwriter, I actually don't sit down and write songs like other writers. I actually "get" them perfectly complete and whole from beginning to end and they come from something so far beyond who I am. I interpret this as the Holy Spirit. I had read an article about a woman in our community who was facing stage IV cancer as a single mom. I immediately went into prayer and I asked God how I could help this wonderful woman with three children. This is the song that was given to me in four minutes in my kitchen and we went into the recording studio to record it. I would like to thank you for purchasing this song because this song will benefit this wonderful woman's three kids and their future. ALL proceeds from this song will go straight to her family. This song was a gift to me, and I am hopeful that we can gift her family through this music. I'd like to thank Emily Kimbell, Lamp Music Studios, and all of Kristy Bannister's amazing friends for making this happen. I hope that this is a blessing for her family and that it's a blessing to all who listen to it. It's truly a song of strength, encouragement, and healing. Thanks for listening/purchasing for this tremendous cause. Until cancer is gone, we come against it in prayer and song. AND SHE WALKS Verse One: This was supposed to be a picture perfect life All those dreams coming true and nothing out the window but endless blue skies This was supposed to be a fairytale Smiles in photographs, friends there just to laugh, wind in the sails But this is not the way life handed it down You can shake a fist, cry all night, or put your feet on the ground Chorus One: And she walks, step by step, slow at first, scared to death She could break, so she bends, so she can take a step again And she walks day and night, just wondering when it'll be alright She hears the endless pounding of the clock... and she walks Verse Two: This life don't come with guarantees The wrong dark cloud can bring the strongest to their knees But this life comes with hope and redemption Cause there's nothing that can ever overcome a resurrection Each day is a gift and it's yours for the taking Every step you take is a legacy in the making Chorus Two: And she walks, step by step, gaining strength, deeper breath She might break, so she bends, another day she walks again And she walks day and night, believing it'll be alright She hears the distant ticking of the clock... and she walks Bridge: She walks by the Sea of Galilee when she needs to feel the sun She sees the set of footprints in the sand and thank God there's only one She runs this race and stares it down with a fire in her eye Step by step and day by day, day by day just walk with faith Final Chorus: And she walks, step by step, guided by the Lord with no regrets She walks tall, she walks strong, she knows where she belongs And she walks day and night, salt beneath her feet she dances in the light When the survivor walks her chains are gone Can you hear her sing her victory song?
