As Jesus Walked

Julia and I recently bought (actually, it was a birthday present from a good friend) Martyn Layzell’s latest album called Turn My Face. It has some great tracks on, but we call the last one our Storehouse Song. Martyn has very kindly given us his permission to copy the lyrics out below:

As Jesus Walked by Martyn Layzell

We have heard the call to go

Into the world with seed to sow
With living words within our hearts

We will walk as Jesus walked

Live a life of sacrifice

And die to our human desires

To see the poor and not pass by

Is to walk as Jesus walked

Help us walk as Jesus walked

But if not now then when will we

Take up our cross and follow?

And if not us then who will go

And walk as Jesus walked?

Be good news in all we do

Bind up the broken hearted

Heal the sick and raise the dead

Is to walk as Jesus walked

Help us walk as Jesus walked

With passion for the lost

Compassion for the poor

To every corner of this world

We’ll walk as You have walked

A Father to the fatherless

You’re Father to them all

Martyn Layzell

We feel that it echoes what we want to do through the Storehouse Ministry, but also challenges us in every walk of life to “walk as Jesus walked.” Please look at Martyn’s website at http://www.martynlayzell.com/ and check out some of the other tracks from the album at his myspace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=93136292
