Walk It Out

V6

[Spoken — warm, conversational, slightly amused] We’re pretty good at saying prayers. The trouble is, sometimes we say “Amen,” stand up, and act like the meeting is over. Maybe “Amen” doesn’t always mean, “Well, that’s finished.” Maybe sometimes it means: “All right, Lord. Now let’s walk it out.” [Music Begins — upbeat acoustic folk] [Verse 1] I prayed, “Lord, show me what to do,” Then waited for a mighty sign. No trumpet blew, no angel came, Just one small thought inside my mind: “Go call the friend you’ve thought about. Make peace before the sun goes down.” It sounded almost much too plain, But plain is how the Lord works things out. [Chorus] Walk it out, walk it out, Put some feet beneath your faith. Pray and listen, test the feeling, Then go do the good today. Walk it out, walk it out, Plant the seed that you’ve been given. Watch the fruit and keep on walking— Put some feet beneath your faith. [Verse 2] I prayed, “Lord, send some help today To that poor soul across the street.” Then mercy tapped me on the shoulder: “You’ve got two hands—and two good feet!” Turns out the answer to my prayer Was standing right inside my shoes. The Lord will point us toward the good, But we’re the ones who have to move. [Chorus] Walk it out, walk it out, Put some feet beneath your faith. Pray and listen, test the feeling, Then go do the good today. Walk it out, walk it out, Plant the seed that you’ve been given. Watch the fruit and keep on walking— Put some feet beneath your faith. [Bridge — music softens] And if you’re mad and pushing hard, And peace has somehow disappeared, Walking it out may mean, “Stand still. Don’t move until the way is clear.” [Final Chorus — fuller and joyful] Walk it out, walk it out, Put some feet beneath your faith. Pray, then listen and discern it. Take the next small step today. Walk it out, walk it out, Plant the seed that you’ve been given. Watch the fruit and follow Jesus— Put some feet beneath your faith. [Spoken Outro — smiling] Don’t just sit there admiring the seed. Plant the blamed thing—and see what grows.
