SUNDAY CHOICE – Keep me travelling along with you – by Charles Schokman
This is a children’s song about new beginnings. It was written by English historian, folk-singer and song-writer Sydney Bertram Carter (1915-2004) – author of Lord of the Dance. It was first published in 1971 by Stainer and Bell Ltd.
The lyrics of this journeying hymn by Daniel Shiells with its bouncy tune are often sung with passion and meaning in rousing school assemblies.
Keep me travelling along with you.
“As I travel through the bad and good,
Keep me travelling the way I should;
Where I see no way to go
You’ll be telling me the way,
I know.”
When Jesus refers to himself as the way, the truth, and the life, he is giving us a better way to live our lives through him. He is showing us that through following him daily in faith, he will lead us to a better, richer, more meaningful life than we could ever find on our own. John14:6
Ask Lord Jesus to keep travelling along with you, and for his courage and love. Leap and sing again, if not readily in body, then in mind, heart and spirit.
You are welcome to pass this on.
